install GD perl module for use with ourPerl stations_to_kml.pl

[jasonfleming]

The ourPerl scripts have interesting use cases, and the AdcircUtils/stations_to_kml.pl and AdcircUtils/stations_check.pl scripts are very valuable for checking station locations. The GD perl module is required for use with AdcircUtils/stations_to_kml.pl so I am looking in to what is needed to get it going.

The bulding of the GD perl module failed inside Dockerfile.dev container due to dependency issues:

I will see if I can fix this by adding pkg-config to the docker image.

Ok we got past the pkg-config but now it is failing due to lack of libgd. From /work/opt/default/perl5/.cpanm/work/1620237618.129/build.log:

Configuring GD-2.73
Running Makefile.PL
Notice: Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary.

Package gdlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gdlib.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gdlib' found
 at Makefile.PL line 451.
*** can not find package gdlib

I will see if I can fix this by adding libgd to the docker image.
