Oh, there it is. I tried that before, but I must have missed seeing the libgd2-xpm.

I ended up going with this:

I'm setting up a Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS server at work for a client who
plans to install something called "Stori" (an Oracle-ish thing,
stori.orapub.com <http://stori.orapub.com>). The requirements FAQ on
that site is vague, saying "You can install our product on any Linux
server." Okay, so what else? "You will need the gd package; do rpm -q gd
to ensure it's installed." That's for a Red Hat-derived distro
presumably, so what's the equivalent for Debian/Ubuntu? The only package
I found was php5-gd, which seems like overkill as it brings in a ton of
other stuff. Is gd installed by default in Ubuntu 10.04?

I have no idea if it would be there by default, but you could try running "locate /libgd." on your system to see if the library files are installed.  (BTW, on an Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS system here, they were already installed, but then this system has PHP and a bunch of support packages for a web site.  The package name for gd on this Ubuntu distro is "libgd2-xpm".)


On RHEL 5 & 6, the "gd" package installs a single library (libgd.so.2.0.0, though the actual package version is 2.0.33 or 2.0.35) and related docs, so I think all you'd need to do is run "ls -l /usr/lib*/libgd.so*" to see if it's there already.  If it's not there on the Ubuntu system, then it's a matter of finding and installing the right package.  Searching online suggests these commands might do the trick: "sudo apt-cache search libgd" to find it, and something like "sudo apt-get install libgd2" to install it (though the actual package name may differ).  There are probably any number of packages you could install that would drag in the library as a dependency, so there are many ways to get it installed, but I imagine you're looking for the minimal set.  As Gilbert suggested, libgd2-xpm may well be just that.

See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/how-to-install-gd-image-library-on-debian-155068/ and http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=868016
