I loaded Fedora Core 5 (the AMD 64 bit version, if that matters). I
used the built in

Application->Add/Remove Software

to find and load GDL. Nice! I rebooted, then started GDL using the gdl
command.

I see:

For basic information type HELP,/INFO
'GDL_STARTUP'/'IDL_STARTUP' environment variables both not set.
No startup file read.
GDL> % Interrupt encountered.
GDL>

This suggests something is wrong. So does the fact that !path is empty.

Can anyone suggest how one should set environment variables? Or is the
fedora 5 package faulty? (No reference intended to the recent FL
release.)

I'm not sure if this helps, but if I execute:

gdlib-config

I get:

Print information on GD library's version, configuration, and use.
Usage: gdlib-config [options]
Options:
--libdir # directory where GD library is installed
--includedir # directory where GD library headers are
installed
--version # complete GD library version string
--majorversion # GD library major version number
--minorversion # GD library minor version number
--revision # GD library revision version number
--ldflags # options required for linking against GD
library
--libs # libs required for linking against GD
library
--cflags # options required for compiling GD library
apps
--includes # same as --cflags
--features # lists optional features compiled into gd,
separated
# by spaces. Currently (as of 2.0.26) the
optional
# features are GD_PNG, GD_JPEG, GD_XPM, and
# GD_FREETYPE. When these features are
reported by
# --features, it is safe to include calls to
the
# related functions in your code.
--all # print a summary of all GD library configure
options

So I tried

gdlib-config --all

and got

GD library 2.0.33
includedir: /usr/include
cflags: -I/usr/include
ldflags: -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64
libs: -lXpm -lX11 -ljpeg -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng12 -lz
-lm
libdir: /usr/lib64
features: GD_XPM GD_JPEG GD_FONTCONFIG GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF
