Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image"

  1. Default Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image"

    Hi.

    I'm trying to execute this Perl simple script:
    --------
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use GD;
    my $srcimage = GD::Image->newFromJpeg("image_news.jpg");
    my ($srcW,$srcH) = $srcimage->getBounds();
    ---------

    But I get this error message:
    -------
    Can't locate object method "newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image" at
    ../test.pl line 3.
    -------

    I've got GD and libgd compiled with JPEG support turned on.

    That's puzzling. You're script works fine for me with version 2.23. Does
    version 2.30 still define a 'newFromJpeg' sub ? (I would think it does. The
    documentation claims that it does.)

    Are there any other versions of GD installed ?

    It might pay to check that you are, in fact, running version 2.30:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use GD;
    print $GD::VERSION, "\n";
    __END__

    Cheers,
    Rob

    Yes, I'm using 2.30.
    How can I check if I've got other versions of GD installed? It may be,
    cause I've
    been doing several tests with several versions.

    If the above script is reporting '2.30' then that's the version of GD that's
    being found.

    I just installed version 2.30 on my Win32 box and the script you posted
    still works fine. However, I found that if I build GD-2.30 *without* jpeg
    support, then I get an error very similar to yours when I run the script you
    originally posted. I get:

    Can't locate object method "_newFromJpeg" via package "GD::Image" at
    D:/perl58_M/site/5.8.7/lib/GD/Image.pm line 185.

    Essentially there are 2 differences:
    1) for me, the object method "_newFromJpeg" is not found, whereas your error
    reported that the object method "newFromJpeg" is not found;
    2) my error is reported in Image.pm, whereas yours was reported in the
    script.

    I'm starting to think that, although you *think* your GD-2.30 was built with
    jpeg support, perhaps it wasn't. However, when I look at the output you
    posted originally, it looks to me that your GD-2.30 *was* built with jpeg
    support.

    Did you specify 'y' at all of the prompts when 'perl Makefile.PL' was run ?
    It might be informative to find out which subtests were skipped. Try
    running:

    perl -Mblib t\GD.t

    and:

    perl -Mblib t\Polyline.t

    However .... basically, I'm stumped by this - and am hoping that someone
    that actually *knows* what has gone wrong comes forward :-)

    Perhaps Google will turn up an answer for you .... or you might have to
    contact the author if all else fails.

    Cheers,
    Rob
