Patron Image Upload Error in Koha ( GD Perl Module Error)

After spending 3-4 days for searching solutions for fixing the error with GD module used in koha, finally I am successful to upload the patron images in to koha after referring many forums. and am documenting the same here.

I manually installed GD after downloading it from CPAN.
the perl dependencies check was not showing any problem but while uploading patron images I was getting following error:

Can't locate object method "newFromjPeg" via package "GD::Image" at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1/GD/Image.pm line 81.

Reason: ( provided in the various forums)

Building GD perl modules or libgd without jpeg/png support might cause
that error.  libgd-gd2-perl ( in ubuntu) which is good enough
and should be used instead of build-it-yourself from cpan.

Steps followed :
Adding the lib path (in specific to Red Hat/Fedora)

1) open  /etc/ld.so.conf and add
Include  /usr/local/lib 
and run 

#ldconfig -v
------ 


2) libgd
+ Downloaded from : https://bitbucket.org/libgd/gd-libgd/downloads
 + mkdir /usr/local/gd
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gd --with-jpeg=/usr/local/jpeg-6b
+ make
+ make install

or
../configure --enable-shared
make && make install

3) install libpng:




Download at: http://www.ijg.org/files/
 make && make install



In detail: 
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b/bin
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b/man
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b/man/man1
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b/incude
  + mkdir /usr/local/jpeg-6b/lib
  + ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/jpeg-6b --enable-shared
  + make
  + make test
  + make install




4) install jpeg libs :

../configure --enable-shared
make && make install


5) install freetype2:
../configure
make && make install


6) png/jpeg packages
search libpng in debian packages.
eg:  libpng3_1.2.44-1+squeeze4_all.deb

7) install perl module GD
download  GD-2.49.tar.gz from CPAN

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
perl Makefile.PL
make && make test && make install

In detail:  
+ export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/gd/lib:/usr/local/zlib/lib:/usr/local/jpeg-6b/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  + perl Makefile.PL GD_JPEG -lib_gd_path /usr/local/gd -lib_jpeg_path
/usr/local/jpeg-6b -lib_zlib_path /usr/local/zlib
