I would recommend looking into the cvsgraph configure args, specifically --with-gd-inc and --with-gd-lib. Use the appropriate paths, recompile cvsgraph, and see if that works. Note that there are similar configure args for freetype2, jpeg, png, and z. If you have not installed these libraries system-wide, you may need to set the appropriate paths for them as well. Unless you have a compelling reason not to (for example, security with multiple virtual hosts), installing these libraries system-wide is your best bet as it simplifies maintenance. Jon
