Re^2: GD module has no support for animated gifs

yes, when i run that command it says 2.0303. You said to install a version of GD that has been built against libgd-2.0.33 or later but how would i do that? I used the cpan command cpanm GD to download the module, in case that matters.

Install an up to date version of libgd on your system, then use
```
cpan
```
to build the perl module GD against it. You haven't specified which OS you are on, if it has a package manager you should be able to install it from there:
```
 sudo pacman -S gd
[sudo] password for marto: 
warning: gd-2.3.3-9 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Package (1)  Old Version  New Version  Net Change

extra/gd     2.3.3-9      2.3.3-9        0.00 MiB
```
Then just reinstall the module using cpan or otherwise. If on windows see instructions at https://github.com/libgd/libgd, or consider using Strawberry perl with all this sort of thing included.
