(Note: The GD Tools are all available at www.mkstats.com)
If you want to enable the graphical reports in MKStats, you need to install special libraries
to handle those routines. If you do not use those routines, you do not need to install these
extras. This is where it gets tricky...
GD.pm: To install GD.pm, there are two steps (on unix, that is). First, you must compile
the GD libraries, which were written in C by Tom Boutell.
The full GD distribution can be found at ftp://mkstats.com/ in the gd-tools file. Documentation
for compiling it is included.
After setting up GD, you need to install GD.pm, the Perl interface to the GD libraries by Lincoln
Stein. The full distribution of GD.pm is included in the GD-Tools file and the full
documentation can be found at
The official site.
Dave Roth has ported the complete
GD.pm library to Win32 versions of
Perl, and it is extremely simple to set up. So, for NT and 95 users, you will not need to compile
anything or do special installs. Please read the setup information in the 'win32GD' directory about
how to install the libraries.
I do not support these programs. They were written by the talented people mentioned above,
and I cannot help with bug reports or installation help with these particular utilities.
