[mrtg] MRTG configuration breaks at GD (FreeBSD 5.1 / mrtg-2.9.29 / gd-2.0.15)

[Kevin Nicholls]

I'm running a vanilla installation of FreeBSD 5.1, and have been unable
to get MRTG to compile properly. 
 
I have followed the instructions, and have installed the prerequisite
packages without issue, and as clean compiles, rather than installations
from the FreeBSD port tree. 
 
I've also successfully managed to install MRTG on a FreeBSD 4.7 system,
so this isn't my first attempt.
 
The problem I'm having appears in the configuration script at this point
(complete output is at the bottom of this message):
checking for gdImageGif in -lgd... no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd... no
checking for gdImagePng_jpg in -lgd... no
checking for gdImagePng_jpg_ft in -lgd... no
checking for gdImageGd in -lgd... no
checking gd.h usability... no
checking gd.h presence... no
checking for gd.h... no 
 
>From here, the configuration script dies, and I'm given instructions to
fix GD. I've tried all of the suggested instructions, and am at a loss.
Even when I explicitly tell the configuration script where to find GD,
the results are the same. 
 
I've noticed on some web forums that several people have posted similar
problems when trying to install MRTG on OSX, but a solution was never
posted.
 
I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar issues, and if so, how they
were resolved. From what I understand, the "fix GD" message can actually
point to several things other than GD. Unfortunately, I've not been able
to find another culprit. 
 
I'd be most appreciative for any solutions, or guidance towards getting
MRTG up and running on this system.

** Ooops, one of many bad things happened:
 
   a)  You don't have the GD library installed.
       Get it from http://www.boutell.com, compile it and
       use either --with-gd-lib=DIR and --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify
       its location. You might also have to use --with-z-inc,
             --with-z-lib and --with-png-inc, --with-png-lib for gd
             versions 1.6 and higher.  Check config.log for more
       information on the problem.
 
   b)  You have the GD library installed, but not the gd.h
       header file.  Download the source (see above) and use
       --with-gd-inc=DIR to specify where the file can be found.
 
   c)  You have the library and the header file installed, but
       you also have a shared GD library in the same directory. 
       Remove the shared library files and/or links (e.g. 
       libgd.so.2.0.0, libgd.so and libgd.so.2).  This is especially
             likely if you're using a recent (post 1.8.4) version of GD
       and didn't configure it with --disable-shared.
 
   Consider following the instructions in doc/unix-guide.txt
