Error recompiling Cpanel's PHP

[dario2]

When I run makecpphp to solve Fantastico's "Wrong datatype" warnings problem, I get the following error during the "configure" command and Cpanel's PHP doesn't get recompiled:

If configure fails try --with-freetype-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: GD build test failed. Please check the config.log for details.
!! './configure --disable-pdo --enable-ftp --enable-libxml --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets --enable-static --prefix=/var/cpanel/3rdparty/ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/ --with-curl=/opt/curlssl/ --with-gd --with-gettext --with-imap=/opt/php_with_imap_client/ --with-imap-ssl=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-kerberos --with-libxml-dir=/opt/xml2/ --with-mcrypt=/opt/libmcrypt/ --with-mysql=/usr --with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --with-openssl=/usr --with-openssl-dir=/usr --with-pgsql=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr' failed with exit code '256' !!
!! Verbose logfile is at '/usr/local/cpanel/logs/easy/apache/build.1228506877' !!

Done rebuilding cPanel's internal PHP.
Failed to build working PHP

When I check config.log, it says:

How do I solve this? Thanks!

I had that error one time, I can not remember what it said specifically, but I think you can get the error values that need to be corrected and use WHM >> Main >> Service Configuration >> PHP Configuration Editor to change those values without having to rebuild the internal PHP used by cPanel.

Just a shot in the dark here:

configure: error: GD build test failed.

Have you done a /scripts/installgd - then another /scripts/makecpphp

Thanks, guys! I tried the installgd script as per your suggestion, but it seems the --with-gd uses PHP bundled GD library instead of the system's. So I needed to change it to --with-gd=/usr. I found it at

/var/cpanel/perl/easy/Cpanel/Easy/PHP5/GD.pm

So I modified the file, did a chattr +i on it and ran makecpphp again, and PHP compiled just fine!
