Right.  It's been so long since I set up my 68k machine that I forgot
about that.  I chose appl_cfm68k myself, for the following reason.
bigappl has modules statically compiled in.  You're fortunate that GD
is one of the ones that Matthias put in.  But if you ever want to use
one of the other modules that Chris or Arved has compiled and made
available at <http://pudge.net/mmp>, and it isn't in biggapl, you're
out of luck.  With the cfm68k version, you can use any shared library
available (well, a few of them don't work as I recall because of bugs
in the 68k side of things), including GD.

As Arved said, your code just worked.  Print into a file and use an
image viewer to look at the result.
