GD Upgrade - Big Time Newbie

[ryback]

Hey everyone,

I've got Redhat 9.0 i386 installed. The installation disks included PHP 4.2.2 which is also installed. I am trying to update the GD to 2.0.22 according to these directions:

http://www.boutell.com/gd/manual2.0.22.html#buildgd

The problem is I can do the 'make' and the 'make install' but where the heck are these new files supposed to be located? And how do I tell PHP where to look for them? I tried /usr/lib, /usr/include, to no avail. I can't find my current installation of GD!

Please help.

Thanks!

The GD library that RedHat installed was bundled with RH's PHP RPM and not a stand alone version. This is why you can't find it.

I typically don't install PHP and Apache with the OS and install the binary versions afterward so that I can easily reconfigure them as needed.

When configuring the PHP binary, --with-gd will tell it to use the bundled library and --with-gd=/location/to/gd will tell it to use a GD version that was installed separately.

For the easiest solution, check out the latest RPM version of PHP and see what GD version comes bundled with it. If it's the one you want, the easies thing to do is just update the RPM. I'm not sure if you are able to add configure options to and RPM but maybe someone else on this form with be able to help you.

If that doesn't work then I would uninstall the PHP and Apache RPMs and install the binaries being sure to include the --with-gd=/location/to/the/gd/lib/you/installed when configuring PHP.

If you want detailed instructions on how to install the binary versions, post away and I'll provide them. If someone has an RPM solution, I'd love to hear it because I've only used RPMs for programs that I know I will never have to modify.

Thanks for the info. I decided to uninstall the Apache and PHP RPMs and install the latest sources which I downloaded. I un-compressed the Apache2 tar file (httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) and then did:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr --enable-auth-digest

followed by:

make

This went on for awhile until I got the following errors. Anyone know what's wrong?? My deep appreciation to anyone who can help me out.

I still use the first Apache so I don't have experience with Apache2.

Are you doing this as root?

Also, I wouldn't recommend installing apache or any program under the home directory. Use /usr/local - I actually use /usr/local/etc because it's usually empty and I like to keep all programs that I personally install in a separate directory.

As far as the error is concerned, it's obviously having problems with openssl so perhaps you should go to redhat and grab the latest RPM
once downloaded:
rpm -Uv openssl.version.rpm

Anyone else experience this error?
