cvsGraph error,

[Vinodh Srinivasan]

Thanks Jon for your advice.
Infact , i am pretty much doing everything you talked in your email. 
1. installed required libraries (png and z). 
2. used ./configure --with-*** option to configure.
3. to use it more of a user-wide library, i set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /gd/lib/

Still no luck.
Probably i need to try the System-wide installation.

thanks
vinodh
