In the past I had trouble getting my php to install correctly with mysql and apache when using version 3.0 I then went to installing the php-4.0.3pl1-3.arvin.i686.rpm version. When I did this everything worked correctly but my latest problem is not so easy to figure out. I want to be able to create images with dynamic text. I have found some docs on how to do this and installed
freetype-1.3.1-7.src.rpm
currently have:
GD 1.3 which supports gifs I believe
System:
Red Hat 7
Apache not sure of version
First off I know a fair amount about linux but lacking some basics. How do I find out versions of loaded software and current system.
Next with the regular tar.gz files you do ./configure --mysql ...etc
How can I recompile PHP with these new packages using an rpm file or can I?
Another thing where do I get ImageTTFText or is it already in PHP version 4.0?
Thanks,
Bill Marlin
