GD lib on Raspberry Pi

Took me forever to find the answer The fact is that there is no more libgd2-xpm-dev. Instead you need to install libgd-dev: sudo apt install libgd-dev

Once you do that, fswebcam will compile without error.

I hope that by posting this I've saved at least one poor should hours of Google agony.

You'll need the development package, possibly called libgd2-dev or libgd2-devel.

libgd2-dev I guess, but it tells me:

Package libgd2-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'libgd2-dev' has no installation candidate

Will give a look if someone added external sources

Not sure, is there a libgd2-xpm-dev?

fabryz, apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev or libgd2-noxpm-dev works for me on raspi debian.

just found this via Google, same issue, using libgd2-noxpm-dev worked perfect for me on raspberry pi uname -a Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9+ #90 Wed Apr 18 18:23:05 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux

Indeed, confirmed here too. Compiles fine with libgd2-noxpm-dev. Closing.
