gnuplot installation error

[JCatFedora15]

Hi all,

I am trying to install gnuplot4.6.tar.gz on a fedora2 machine. I am doing the following:
tar -xvzf gnuplot4.6.tar.gz
cd gnuplot 4.6.0
./configure
make
make install

However, running 'make' gives the following error:
./term/gd.trm:717: undefined reference to `gdFontGetTiny'

Currently, the machine has gnuplot 3.7
Has it anything to do with the architecture of the machine?

No, but Fedora 2 is eight years old now.

 * This terminal driver supports PNG and JPEG output using
 *  GD library 1.8, 2.0

Either update your GD library or disable this term in src/term.h

#if defined(HAVE_GD_PNG) || defined(HAVE_GD_JPEG) || defined(HAVE_GD_GIF)
# include "gd.trm"
#endif

Btw gnuplot 4.6 compiles out of the box with Fedora 16 ;-)

Thanks a lot george.

Your solution rocked. I installed the gd library, however the error persisted. But, when I commented the lines in ..src/term.h , gnuplot-4.6 got smoothly installed.
