Problems with gd (multiply defined)

[Anon]

When compiling apache, I receive following error:

ld: fatal: symbol gdImageColorResolve' is multiply defined:
(file modules/php4/libphp4.a(gd.o) and file /homes/tautry/web/www/gd/libgd.a(gd.o));
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to httpd
make[2]: *** [target_static] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory/homes/tautry/web/www/apache_1.3.17/src'
make[1]: [build-std] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/homes/tautry/web/www/apache_1.3.17'
make: [build] Error 2

I have searched through the archives and have found many instances of this problem but none of them have any responses as to how to fix it. What do I need to do to resolve the issue?

The problem was that gcc's ld was before the system ld in the path. Changed path so that system ld was before gcc ld and rebuilt all modules and it now works fine. This is for those who have this problem but no one seems to have an answer.

how do you do that?

One way is in your Configuration of apache/php script

LD=/usr/bin/ld
./configure \

then the rest of your config options
