problem in compiling 4.8-rc3

[John Cartwright]

Hello All,

I'm having a problem compiling 4.8 that seems to be related to the
gdFontCacheSetup check:

...
configure: checking where libiconv is installed...
checking for iconv_open in -lc... no
checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... no
checking for iconv_open in -lc... no
checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... yes
        using libiconv from system libs.
        libiconv found. Enabling internationalization (-DUSE_ICONV)
configure: checking for GD 2.0.16 or higher...
checking for gdFontCacheSetup in -lgd... no
configure: checking whether GD needs libiconv...
checking for gdFontCacheSetup in -lgd... no
configure: error: Could not find gd.h or libgd.la/libgd.so in
/usr/local/graphicslibs/lib.  Make sure GD 2.0.16 or higher is compiled
before calling configure. You may also get this error if you didn't
specify the appropriate location for one of GD's dependencies (freetype,
libpng, libjpeg or libiconv).

 =========================================================================
I'm using the same gd-2.0.33 and configuration line that compiled
successfully for 4.6.0.

I've been able to replicate the problem on both a RedHat ES3 amd Mac OS
10.4 system.


Thanks for any help!
