Hello,
	At the risk of inciting a flame war, I would personally recommend wiping Windows NT and installing
some variety of either Linux, FreeBSD, or Solaris. This is not necessarily a I-hate-windows issue.
The installation process for gd is better documented for those operating systems, that's all.
	Barring that, the libgd homepage has very brief instructions for Windows:

http://www.boutell.com/gd/#buildgd

	I'm guessing however that gd is not what you need. The MRTG homepage has installation instructions
for Windows NT. Win32 collectively refers to all 32 bit varieties of Windows, which means everything
including Windows 95 and afterwards.

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/nt-guide.html

	You should really check the homepage first to see if the answer to your question is there. If there
is something about the homepage instructions that you do not understand, it would help us to help
you if you stated clearly what part of the instructions you did not understand. I used mrtg for a
long time before I even knew that mrtg itself is written in Perl, so Perl knowledge is not necessary
in order to use it.

Best regards,
James
