GD module needs libgd

[programingnoob]

Hi,
I am trying to install the GD module. However, I cannot do that unless I already install the libgd. I cannot find libgd in cpan. What should I do?

Thanks

After doing some research, I found out that libgd is a C library. I found and donwloaded the library. But I don't know what to do with it.

libgd is an freeware library of graphics manipulation functions. One place to download it is:

Download the appropriate version and unzip/untar. There should be a README and/or INSTALL file that explains how to install it.
