Compiling nagios with libgd under Redhat 9

[Tielman de Villiers]

Try 

export LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/lib-gd/lib

before you do configure

I had the same problems with ldconfig recognizing the new custom
location, but not nagios.

(PS if you wanted to use the stock standard rpms, remember to install
the *-devel rpms, which contains the headers)
