No problem, and thank you for testing!

The relevant lines are near the end. After running gdlib-config --libs, we 
get:

   stdout: '-ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lz -lm


And then the test program compiles but doesn't link:

      ========= output dump start ============
      /tmp/ccxK4ZrN.o: In function `main':
      scc_75198.c:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to 
`gdImageCreateTrueColor'


The reason is clearly that gdlib-config --libs does not say -lgd should be 
used. We can fix it in several ways:

1. We assume on some systems this is the default behavior and -lgd needs 
to be added manually; Icam  add an extra test in scconfig that tries this 
combination

2. We could assume your gdlib-config differs from mine; you could try to 
figure with what arguments your gdlib-config should be called with to 
yield -lgd.

3. Low probabilty, but it may be that your gd installation is broken and 
gdlib-config --libs should include -lgd.

Please let me know in what direction you'd like to proceed.

I also suggest to take this off the list - I am pretty sure noone else is 
interested in a gs vs. scconfig debug session.
