php --with-gd

[jiayi]

Hi,

i have problem installing gd support with my php
when i do the following configuration:
./configure --prefix=/www/php --with-apxs2=/www/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/www/php --enable-sockets --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local --with-gd

it gave me an error -
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.

i have tried specifying the path for both libpng and gd.h stored in the php directory on --with-gd = '<path> '
but still couldnt solve the problem.

php version:4.3.4
currenly gd being installed in linux: gd-1.8.4-11

can anyone assist me on how to go by solving the problem? i have tried to do a google on my problem before, and have tried the instructions posted

thanks alot

Try doing it using --with-png-dir=DIR

I have tried using --with-png
but w/o the path directory as i dont know which path shd i specify

i have no problem when doing a make and make install command,neither copying my php.ini-dist to /www/php.ini.

But when i visit my test.php, the configuration was not being updated.

i have tried resttarting my apache server several time, but still no luck.

how do i make sure the newer configuration was being updated?

[LordShryku]

doing a make install uses files from make which uses files create during ./config
You have to follow all of the steps when installing. Do you even have png installed?

yes i have checked i have my libpng installed
version :1.2.2-16

i have followed the instruction:
steps invl:

do configure,
make
make install
copy php.ini-dist to /www/php/php.ini

problem still the same, it has not been updated

hi guys,

i got it..finally

just included the path..did a manual search on where gd.h is located.

basically is juz --with-gd=/usr

funny thing is that i have tried that before..prehaps i hav to shut down the server before making any changes

but the phpinfo() still doesnt show the latest configuration..beats mi..
