Lake Brenets, a long, winding lake on the Swiss-French border, is all ‌but drained and has been unnavigable for more than a week amid a prolonged drought that has hit waterways across Europe.

The lake is normally thronged with campers, swimmers and canoeists in the summer, while three ​boat companies typically ferry thousands of tourists across it each season.

But this year ​it is virtually deserted as water levels in the River Doubs, which ⁠feeds it, have fallen sharply following months of scant rainfall and three successive heatwaves, the ​latest of which is still under way.

Trying to install ptouch-print:

$ git clone https://git.familie-radermacher.ch/linux/ptouch-print.git
Cloning into 'ptouch-print'...

$ cd ptouch-print/

Found GD: NO
CMake Error at cmake/FindGD.cmake:109 (MESSAGE):

Call Stack (most recent call first):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

So I thought maybe libgd was not installed, but it is, so where am I going wrong?

$ apt list --installed | grep libgd3
libgd3/noble,now 2.3.3-9ubuntu5 amd64 [installed]
