Anyone know how to install GD support?

Anon

I am trying to get GD working with PHP.

I compile php but then go compile apache and get all sorts of errors.

HELP!

I have:
php 4.0.6
apache 1.3.20

GD 1.8.3 I think it is.

I installed zlib too.

THanks!

can you be more explicit on the errors.
and where all your external module are installed.

OK.

Here is what I did:

download GD and do the make/make install.
Went to php dir and did:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-xml --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-curl=/usr/local/lib --enable-shared-pdflib --enable-track-vars --enable-url-includes --enable-magic-quotes --with-gd=/home/me/gd --with-zlib

/home/me/gd links to the gd 1.8.3 dir.

(make/makeinstall)

Hit apache and config as normal then on MAKE get loads of errors like:

/usr/local/lib/libgd.a(gd_jpeg.o): In function fatal_jpeg_error': gd_jpeg.o(.text+0x38): undefined reference tojpeg_destroy'
/usr/local/lib/libgd.a(gd_jpeg.o): In function gdImageJpegCtx': gd_jpeg.o(.text+0x13f): undefined reference tojpeg_std_error'
gd_jpeg.o(.text+0x1aa): undefined reference to jpeg_CreateCompress' gd_jpeg.o(.text+0x1db): undefined reference tojpeg_set_defaults'

also wanted to say that I tried just --with-gd too, without dir.

Any help is appreciated. 2 days on this and no luck

I checked my rpm packages on webmin and it says GD,zlib and libpng are there.

gillesg

your GD is expecting jpeg.

Try to configure PHP with --with-jpeg-dir option set.

Anon

did that before.

I will try again though.

Before I did
--with-jpeg-dir
--with-png-dir

Well, I knew the problem was not my not knowing.

What I did:

Went into webadmin and ripped out the GD stuff that was there. Turns out there was a php rpm in there too that was dependant on it.

I never installed this php via rpm (yuk). I assume the initial tech did. So I ripped that out.

rpm -i GD.rpm

then redid it all and presto. No errors and this script that uses GD works.

Thanks for confirming that I was doing things right. It lead me to snooping which = solution 🙂

Thanks
