    understand both the difficulties of running on specific operating systems

>Making Bugzilla work on windows is still a very painful processes.
      The Bugzilla Team is working to make it easier, but that goal is not
      considered a top priority. If you wish to run Bugzilla, we still
      recommend doing so on a Unix based system such as GNU/Linux. As of this
      writing, all members of the Bugzilla team and all known large installations
      run on Unix based systems.
      </P
><P
>If after hearing all that, you have enough pain tolerance to attempt
     installing Bugzilla on Win32, here are some pointers.
     
       Because this is a development version of the guide, these instructions
       are subject to change without notice.  In fact, the Bugzilla Team hopes
       they do as we would like to have Bugzilla resonabally close to "out of
       the box" compatibility by the 2.18 release.

>There are a lot of common libraries and utilities out there that
      Apple did not include with Mac OS X, but which run perfectly well on it.
      The GD library, which Bugzilla needs to do bug graphs, is one of
      these.</P
><P
>The easiest way to get a lot of these is with a program called
      Fink, which is similar in nature to the CPAN installer, but installs
      common GNU utilities. Fink is available from
      <A
HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/"
TARGET="_top"
>http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/</A
>.</P
><P
>Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's installed,
      you'll want to run the following as root: 
      <B
CLASS="command"
>fink install gd</B
>
      </P
><P
>It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and hit
      enter to install all of the dependencies. Then watch it work.</P
><P
>To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple installs
      by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at /sw where it installs
      most of the software that it installs. This means your libraries and
      headers for libgd will be at /sw/lib and /sw/include instead of /usr/lib
      and /usr/local/include. Because of these changed locations for the
      libraries, the Perl GD module will not install directly via CPAN, because it
      looks for the specific paths instead of getting them from your
      environment. But there's a way around that :-)</P

      This should go through the motions of downloading the latest version of
      the GD module, then it will open a shell and drop you into the build
      directory. Apply <A
HREF="../sgml/gd-makefile.patch"
