GDlib, No JPEg, PHP errors

banthm

Hi folks,

Yet another install config problem. I'm running PHP4.0.6 on a Raq4i. Apache 1.3.20. Linux 2.2.

Here's the deal, when I incorporate --with-gd=/some/directory into the ./configure, I get this error:

configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under /usr/lib/libttf.so

libgd.a and libgd.so are in the /usr/lib riectory. I have Gdlib1.3.5 installed from RPM, and with these problems attempted to also install GDlib1.8.5. I get the same results with them all.

Here's the full ./configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-gd=/usr/bin --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/include/freetype2/freetype --with-gettext=/usr --enable-safe-mode --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-zlib --enable-magic-quotes --with-regex=system --with-ttf=/usr/lib/libttf.so --enable-track-vars --enable-xml --disable-debug --with-db --with-interbase=shared --with-pgsql=shared --with-ldap --with-imap --with-curl=/usr/local/lib –-with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/local/include

When phpinfo is called, there is no GD support.

Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreicated.

Hmmm... after hours, seems that ldconfig did the trick. sigh.

I have same problem, and it is really annoying. My error messages:

checking for freetype(2)... yes
checking whether to include include FreeType 1.x support... no
checking whether to include T1lib support... yes
checking for T1_LoadFont in -lt1... yes
configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under /usr/local/src/T1-1.1.1
[root@HP php-4.1.0]#

Anyone have any ideas? Please.

Lookup the ldconfig in a UNIX/Linux book. It rebuilds the links to the dynamic libraries. So, if you are sure you have installed the file it's missing, then this may work.

That's the best I can do as far as putting you on a trail that may work.

When you downloaded GDLib to your /home/-directory do the following:

tar xfz gdlib.tar.gz
cd gdlib
./configure
make
make install

Then run the ./configure for PHP with the following option:

--with-gd=/home/your_username/untared_gdlib

Did it for me.

_till

That worked for me too... But I don't want the headaches of leaving linked sources in my home dir. For one, the intended app can't go there!

It seems to be an issue with configure. It wants to look in the last properly conf'd directory. (ie. Freetype err'd, but it looked in /usr/local/lib (png) etc.

I suppose I will have to dig thru the var's...

for some reason you need to set
--with-gd=...
to one directory lower than where libgd.a is actually stored.

in my case gd was installed like this:

/usr/lib/libgd.a

so i set up config like this:

(to avoid confusion, this is the one which worked)
--with-gd=/usr/

instead of this which i had before

--with-gd/usr/lib/

and it worked!

hope this works for everyone else

It's ok for me, and PHP now accept to be configured with gd 2.0

But when I take a look to my phpinfo page, PHP doesn't tell me that we have GD 2.0 (just 1.6.2 or higher) and I cannot run some GD 2.0 functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor()

I get a :

Fatal error: imagecreatetruecolor(): requires GD 2.0 or later

I've done :

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.24 --with-dbase --wi
th-filepro --with-xml --enable-ftp --with-db --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-jpeg-dir --wit
h-png-dir --with-gd=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-freetype-dir --with-gettext --with-pgsql=/usr
--with-mysql=/usr --with-zlib-dir --enable-trans-sid --with-imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl --
with-openssl --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm

make

make install

with no error reported

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thx
