Php 5.0.5 + Gd 2.0.33

Hi guys,

I am trying to achieve JPEG support in PHP but after hours and hours of recompiling I am not sure what the problem is.

libjpeg is installed on my system (as a package) in /usr/lib (server runs FC2).
I have also separately installed jpeg-6b ... when I go to ./configure GD it always detects my libpng and enabled PNG support, but not JPEG.. i've tried ./configure --with-jpeg=/usr/lib even tried pointing it to the jpeg-6b install directory... still does not work... then I tried to use the bundled GD library with php 5.0.5 and still no success... supports every format except for JPEG... here is my configure line for PHP:

'./configure' '--prefix=/var/php' '--with-apxs2=/var/www/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/var/mysql' '--with-mysql-sock=/tmp' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib' '--enable-sockets' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-freetype'

and here is the GD info returned array results after compiling with that line:

array(11) {
["GD Version"]=> string(27) "bundled (2.0.28 compatible)"
["FreeType Support"]=> bool(false)
["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false)
["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true)
["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(true)
["JPG Support"]=> bool(false)
["PNG Support"]=> bool(true)
["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true)
["XPM Support"]=> bool(false)
["XBM Support"]=> bool(true)
["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=> bool(false)
}

Any ideas would be appreciated as I am running out of them! 🙂

Thanks

if i remember correctly from last time i did a clean install of php and gd using the additional libraries, the libjpeg must be compiled as a shared library. when you compile jpeg you must have --enable-shared in the configure switch.
after that php should be able to find where it is and link it into the php binary.
the one difference was however, i was not using the bundled version of gd. i was compiling it myself and then telling php to use the gd i built.

Hi... thanks for your reply...

You are right. Originally it is exactly how I wanted to do it too (not the bundled version) I was trying the bundled version thinking at least maybe that will work. Anyways.. my problem ended up being the following:

jpeg-6b configured and compiled correctly but it was assuming /usr/local for it's prefix while on my machine it should have been /usr .. so somehow that broke the "install" section of make as it would only install about half the libraries and then just stop without giving me any errors so I was thinking it installed correctly. That ofcourse explained why my gd configure was good and the make failed, it couldn't find all the headers it needed during the compilation.

So for those of you that are reading and are having a similar problem.. Solution was this..

configure jpeg-6b with these switches: --prefix=/usr (if that's right for your system, this was on a FC2) --enable-shared

everythign else should be detected ok, then you can make; make install

configure gd-2.0.33 with the switches: --prefix=/usr (if everything else has been installed to the same prefix, it will detect png/jpg/freetype support automatically..

make; make install

and then when compiling php use whatever config switches you need along with: --with-gd=/usr

It's pretty much that simple once you know 🙂 .. Took me 3 days of suffering to get right though.

Thanks for the reply!

cheers

I'm having this same frustrating problem, the only difference is I'm using the GD package that is with PHP 5.1.2.

When I configure jpeg-6b, using "./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared", it configures and makes fine, but when I hit "make install" I get this error:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./cjpeg.1 /usr/man/man1/cjpeg.1
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/man/man1/cjpeg.1': No such file or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

Whats the deal with that? I've been trying everything today to just get JPEG support on my PHP / GD installation!!! I'm going crazy.
