how to install "GD"

[dbrendlinger]

I have downloaded PHP from PHP.net, compiled it and installed it. - worked great.

Downloaded GD library from bouttell.com/gd/ just like they said to do in the new book "Sams teach yourself php in 24 hours".

Did a "./configure --with-gd/path/to/dir"
did a "make"
did a "make install".

DID NOT HAVE ANY COMPILE ERRORS

Modified httpd.conf to see the .php page (and it was working).

Rand an example from the book and recived error message "Warning: ImageGif: No GIF create support in this PHP build in /var/www/html/index.php on line 8"

Sounds like Apache is seeing PHP however PHP is not seeing GD to me.

Oh, it is running on Redhat 7.3

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Gif is not supported in new version of GD Library because it is licensed.

even there's no Error when you complie , it's a good idea to check the configure output to check if the gdImageCreateFromGif() support is 'Yes'

I suggest you to switch to use PNG instead.

Thank you very much for the information and I think we have something here. What is the "configure output" ?

Thanks again in advance.

make a php page that just contains

<?
phpinfo();
?>
That will show you what you have available to you.
