Invalid library 'libgd.so'

christi_brown

Hi,
I'm trying to get GD working with PHP 4.3.7 on Solaris 8 but keep getting the invalid library message. I find no answers with Google. Anyone who can help me?

I added the following packages before building GD:
-freetype-2.1.7-sol8-sparc-local (SMCftype)
-jpeg-6b-sol8-sparc-local (SMCjpeg)
-libpng-1.2.5-sol8-sparc-local (SMClibpng)

Build gd-2.0.26 as follows:
./configure --with-png=/usr/local --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local --with-freetype=/usr/local --with-jpeg=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local
** Configuration summary for gd 2.0.26:
Support for PNG library: yes
Support for JPEG library: yes
Support for Freetype 2.x library: yes
Support for Xpm library: no
Support for pthreads: yes

ls /usr/local/lib/gd
/usr/local/lib/libgd.a

/usr/local/lib/libgd.so

/usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0
/usr/local/lib/libgd.la

/usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2

Built PHP as follows:
./configure \
--with-mysql=/u2/mysql-standard-4.0.20-sun-solaris2.8-sparc \
--with-nsapi=/opt/SUNWwbsvr/61SP1 \
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-iconv=/usr/local \
--with-iconv-dir=/usr/local \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local \
--enable-gd

The php.ini file has the following:
extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/"
extension=libgd.so

But I still keep getting this error when I call any of the GD functions:
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'libgd.so'

Thanks

On my configure statement, I do not use:

--enable-gd

I use:

--with-gd

However, I am on Linux, so I am not 100% if this is what you need with Solaris. I guess no harm in trying it.

Not sure about that either (--enable-gd). I saw it somewhere and gave it a try too, but it doesn't seem to be used. Have the same problem without it though.
Thanks

since you have compiled gd into php, try to run php w/out dynamically loading libgd.so thru php.ini
in short, comment out the lines extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib"
extension = libgd.so

and then try running a basic gd example off the php.net site and see if it draws the image fine

Thanks that worked. I tried so many different things that I missed the most obvious...
