Sorting out GD for Statistics in RT3

RT Users
1

Hello,

Have read the archives on this topic, am attempting to sort out the various
libgd / GD / GD::Graph.pm issues.

The README being followed is the one supplied with the Statistics3.tgz, which
suggests his working platform had GD version 2.0.15, GD::Graph is version 1.43.

My platform currently is libgd.so.2.0.20, GD::Graph.pm,v 1.53 2003/07/01,
GD.pm is 2.11, and the error occurs when attempting to plot graphics.

I hope someone can help make sense of the dependencies, as I am using libgd >
1.8 and GD::Graph > 1.43 . Here is the error:

System error
