I run pcb on Oracle Solaris 11, so tried to build 4.0.0 there,
but it failedduringconfigure phase in following way:

$ ./configure --disable-gl --disable-toporouter
...
checking for GDLIB... no
configure: error: Note: cannot find gdlib.
This is required for gcode, nelma, png HIDs
You may want to review the following errors:
No package 'gdlib' found
$

I have libgd installed on the system:

$ gdlib-config --all
GD library  2.0.35
includedir: /usr/include/gd2
cflags:     -I/usr/include/gd2
ldflags:      -L/usr/lib
libs:       -lXpm -lX11 -ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng -lz -lm
libdir:     /usr/lib
features:   GD_XPM GD_JPEG GD_FONTCONFIG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON
$

Setting GDLIB_CFLAGS and GDLIB_LIBS helped a little bit:

$ GDLIB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gd2" GDLIB_LIBS="-lXpm -lX11 -ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng -lz -lm" ./configure --disable-gl --disable-toporouter
...
checking for GDLIB... yes
checking for gdImageGif... no
configure: error: Your gd installation does not appear to include gif support.
You may need to update your installation of gd or disable
gif export with --disable-gif
$

I verified that the library does providegdImageGif():

$ nm /usr/lib/libgd.so|grep gdImageGif$
[183]   |    148980|        62|FUNC |GLOB |0    |16 |gdImageGif
$

Full config.log available at

Could you please let me know what I may be missing?

Thank you,
Jan
