Statusmap.cgi: The statusmap, trends and histogram CGIs are

OK, I suppose that I deserve this. I haven’t been able to get my trends.cgi to show me anything but a blank page also. Everything else worked just fine. I downloaded gd tar file, .configure, make makecheck, make install, and everything seems just fine.
**I neglected to read this though http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.33.html

UPGRADING UNIX USERS: READ THIS FIRST! Modern versions of gd install by default to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. If you already have an older version of gd in /usr/lib and /usr/include, you may wish to use:
./configure --prefix=/usr
To ensure that your new installation overwrites the old. Just installing gd like this fixed all my trouble. Didn’t even have to recompile nagios or anything.

Ok still having problems compiling for statusmap.cgi

I do have /usr/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf and did run ldconfig

I do have all the devel libraries installed

here is what I get
checking for main in -liconv… no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)… no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)… no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)… no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 4)… no

any more ideas?

sounds like the png one is not installed though. If you have only /usr/lib in ld.so.conf, then what about if the libraries have been installed in /usr/local/lib? I think that is the default.

There was another piece of software to install which made the difference. Trying to find the link and will post it just as I can find it.

Here you go. I knew there was something else.
