More GD install problems

[Anon]

Hello Hello

Ok.. I decided to get away from the gd1.3 set of source I have for which was working find; till I needed JPEG support. I basically didn't have any documentation to help with configuring jpeg into the 1.3 so I downloaded a PATCHED version of gd1.8.4 for which supports both GIF / JPEG.. I compiled GD for which put some lib files with /usr/local/lib/ .. I seems as if I have older version files within the /usr/lib directory.

After compiling PHP and try to start httpd I get this error:

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libgd.so.3: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

I'm starting to get upset because I searched every possible thing to find the answer with no luck. I also added the path to the new /usr/local/lib directory within /etc/ld.so.conf for which was the only file they told specifically to edit? They also mention adding a path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? variable for which I have NO clue which file that is located in.

I've looked at /etc/profile and its not there..? I have redhat 6.0 BTW.

Thanks for your help..

Hi..

Can you send more info about your PHP configuration, how did you configured gd (option --with-gd)
ASAIK when you make gd1.8.4 it creates libgd.a file - and it has to be statically linked into libphp4.so

Maybe I will be abel to help you - but I need this info.

Regards

Actually I just downloaded gd without the autoloaded or ./configure tool then did a make / make install and point --with-gd to the directory where the new gd libdg.a was at and it worked.. I did a LOT of things for which I can say that I don't don't exactly what I did to make it work..????

Thanks
Chris
