Installing GD into PHP/Apache... PROBLEM

[Anon]

OK... now I'm frustrated.

I've been trying to install 'GD' support for PHP 4.0.6 and Apache 1.3.20. Succefully installed everything needed like zlib, jpeg6b, libpng, apache, and php. And GD is even functioning correctly on its own.

HOWEVER...
When I go to recompile PHP4.0.6 with GD support it appears to finish correctly but then when I re-make Apache I get several error like the following until it eventualy craps out.

2323: undefined reference to gdImageChar'
/usr/local/etc/php/ext/gd/gd.c:2330: undefined reference togdImageChar'
/usr/local/etc/php/ext/gd/gd.c:

And I can't find any documentation on how to fix this problem. As well I've tryed both GD1.3 and GD1.8. And with out trying to install GD support into PHP everything works fine.

PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO CRAZY!!

I've had similar frustrating experiences installing GD to compile with php and apache... Have you tried using libtool to install or upgrade GD? I've found it easiest to start from scratch with a fresh installation of the latest version of RedHat Linux, which comes with GD-1.8. This is prob not the best solution for most.

This is for the freetype install but has seemed to help a lot of people from the feed back we have received
