[Nils-Eric Pettersson]

I have followd the instructins in th readme-file but i got some error
and warnings when "make install":

Warning: You do not have permissions to install into /usr/man/man3 at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 62.

...

Linux web server. I'm using Telnet and FTP. ...and I'm doing eactly
whats written in the readme file under INSTALLING GD IN YOUR HOME
DIRECTORY.

one assumes you are using CPAN.pm to do the installing?

if so, it's this easy (here's mine)

you can do something similar when installing manually :) check the pod.
