that unfortunately, Nagios may not work with gd-2.0.x.

Most people are using gd-1.8.x I think.

You can find out if your gd library has the function the linker 
is complaining about with 'nm'.

eg for my Nag systems gd-1.8.4 in /usr/local/lib. Yours is probably 
somewehere else.

tsitc> nm /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2 | grep gdImageCreateFromPng
000083c0 T gdImageCreateFromPng
00008404 T gdImageCreateFromPngCtx
000080f4 T gdImageCreateFromPngSource
tsitc> 


If your library does not show a symbol type of T, it is not going to 
work and you have located a bug.

If that is the case, please let the list know.

It should be possible to build Nagios with an older gd library but I 
don't know how to do that without the possibility of negative impact on 
your other applications.

Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a

me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
