I'm looking for some help installing ReportMagic on Gentoo. ReportMagic (www.reportmagic.com) works with everyone's favorite web log analyzer Analog (www.analog.cx) to make reports particularly appealing to the eye. It runs off of Perl, which I know next to nothing about, but I do know I couldn't find any reportmagic entry in Gentoo's package database.

There are two ways of installing reportmagic, either you can install the Perl modules it needs yourself, or it can download and install them for you. I'd like to use the first option through portage, but the thing is, not all the perl modules seem to be in portage (e.g. GD::Text, GD::Graph3d). If you let it download & install the modules, it'll write to /usr/local/etc/httpd/rmagic/, which is in a directory I'd like only portage to modify. That's changeable though - and I tried changing it, but I hit another problem.

When you run "perl Install.PL -only_modules", which I gather is equiv to "./configure ; make" with no "make_install", i.e. it leaves the reportmagic right where it is, the software asks three yes/no questions about how something called "libgd" was built. I tried every permutation of answering yes and no, but in each case I was returned a big "*** Installation Failed! ***". Specifically, it wants to know

Quote:
Please choose the features that match how libgd was built:
Build JPEG support? [y]
Build FreeType support? [y]
Build XPM support? [y]


If I run emerge -s libgd, I get

Quote:
* media-libs/libgd
Latest version available: 1.8.4-r2
Latest version installed: 1.8.4-r2
Size of downloaded files: 251 kB
Homepage: http://www.boutell.com/gd/
Description: A graphics library for fast image creation


and running qpkg -l media-libs/libgd turns up, among other things, /usr/lib/libgd1.a.

The installation instructions are online at http://www.reportmagic.org/docs/inst_src.html.

Any ideas out there? I'll paste the complete failing output of the Perl modules system breaking if it would be helpful (just wanna keep this shortish).

Cheers.
