Developers of Sympa

[John-Paul Robinson <address@concealed>]

Hi Garuda,

Sorry to take so long on the reply.  I was away from the list last week.

FC3 uses perl 5.8.5-9 so I think your perl would be compatible.

I'm going to restrict my comments to Sympa 5.0 since that's what I use.

Your error below suggests that the GD library (not the perl binding) is 
missing.  Make sure you have the rpm gd and gd-devel installed. (The 
-devel will be needed if you building against these lib, ie. build the 
perl module).

What's odd is that my perl install doesn't have GD:text install and sympa 
works just fine (also using tt2).

Let me know about the rpm's and we'll go from there.
