Hi,
I'm in the process of trying to configure PHP with JPEG and Freetype support. I've read that PHP4.2.3 has built-in GD support. I've downloaded and installed jpeg-6b and freetype2. Do I also have to install GD (compiled with JPEG and freetype2) or can i just use the PHP GD built in support and use the ./configure paths to the jpeg6b and freetype.
I've tried to install GD for a few hours but kept running into problems (first, it was stopping because it wasn't finding xpm.h . I tried installing xpm, but that couldn't find other X11 files. the X11 folders, such as /usr/lib/X11 and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 are basically empty (a few links - Cards, fs, and a "locale" directory), so I guess these folders were cleaned out when (and if) X was installed. This is an internet server, so I don't even know if X was installed.
Should I install X, or can I just recompile php (I don't think the GD in PHP as installed with PHP4.2.3 will support JPEG and freetype2, but I'm not really sure).
Thanks for any suggestions
Jeff
