compiling php with gd support

[Anon]

hi,

i need gd support i sue various php scripts that uses the gd library they work fine under windows so i'm trying to compile php with gd support on a linux mandrake 8.1 system like this

cd /usr/local/php

./configure --with-gd=/home/erik/gd-2.0.1\
--with-png-dir=/home/erik/libpng-1.2.3\
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql\
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs\
--enable-track-vars

php keeps on telling me it cannot find "liggd.(a|so) but the file is there in the path i specified and i am root so no access trouble either why does php doesn't find the file it needs "libgd.a"
anybody ever got gd to work on linux ?
thank you !

regards
