[rt-users] GD and GraphViz - Need both? Can't build source.

[Christopher Lasater]

It looks like they have debs on GraphViz.org have you tried doing that
or just trying to compile?

I have always compiled them.  I believe you need expat (and probably
expat-devel) to compile graphviz and you will need the libpng-devel to
get it to work properly with Request Tracker.  For libgd I always just
installed the RPM and moved the library (libgd.so.2) to systems I could
not install RPMs on.  Make sure to properly set up your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environmental variables to go to any lib folders you have, so that when
you try to install it will find all your compiled/moved libraries.
