PHP4 with Jpeg/GD

[Anon]

An old chesnut I know - I'm trying to get Jpeg support going. I have tried doing the stuff recommended by Robert L. Brueckmann (http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php4-beta/200004/0751.php) but I ran into problems. It compiles ok, and installs fine, but when I restart apache I get this message

Syntax error on line 34 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: libpng.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My ./configure looks like this:-

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local/
gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/jpeg-6b --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib

Any ideas anyone?

check to see if /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf (assuming RH linux here since you didn't say, and a lot of linuxes work like redhat in this regard) and run ldconfig and see if it can "find" the library when you start apache.

Thanks Scott

That did the trick - once I restarted the server. I did try to rebuild the ldcondig cache, but without success.
