[OSM-dev] Perl/GD problems

[Brent Easton]

I have got the oceantiles.pl running through no problems, but have run into some problems with lowzoom.pl that look like they may be version related.

I am getting errors like

 Usage: GD::Image::new(packname="GD::Image", x=64, y=64) at lowzoom.pl line 96.

Line 96 of lowzoom.pl is

 my $BlackTileImage = new GD::Image(256,256, 1);

Changing this to 

 my $BlackTileImage = new GD::Image(256,256);

fixes the problem. The third argument is suppose to be a 'truecolor' parameter, but my GD doesn't want to know about it.

My config is:

 ActiveState Perl 5.6.1
 GD 2.06 (installed by ppm install GD)

Questions:

 Any other Windows users got this working?
 Are you using ActiveState Perl or some other perl?
 Which version of ActiveState -5.6.1 or 5.8?
 What version of GD do you have installed?
 What version of GD is required? I see the latest is 2.35 which does seem to have the truecolor argument in the doco?
 How do I/Can I/Do I need to install GD 2.35?

TIA,
Brent.
