GD 2.0.33 fails to install

[jackie46]

GD is always erroring out during the installation. It does this if you run sysup from WHM and the installation fails if you type /scripts/upcp.

At the installation it says, INSTALLATION IMPOSSIBLE!

make: *** [GD.o] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible


This problem is now over a month old and it occurs on every one of our servers. When can we have a fix where GD acutally installs properly?

Under Software > Apache Update...

Check the "GD" box and rebuild Apache.. that worked for me after days of trying to manually install GD

[jackie46]

Nope, sorry that didnt work. I did not see GD errors when i recompiled the box twice last night and installed phpsuexec. I see these errors only during upcp and susup. Whats the solutions? If its already complied and installed during a full system recompile why does upcp trying to reinstall it?

You could try running:

/scripts/cleangd

[jackie46]

Nope that didnt work. Full of errors. It tries to recompile 4 times over and over finally with a status of;

-c gdft.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/gdft.lo
gdft.c:111:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
make[1]: *** [gdft.lo] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cpgdbuild/gd-2.0.33'
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
Method: Perl Expect

Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
perlmod--Install done
GD install failed

In WHM, when I click on Show Current Disk Usage, I receive this error message

Software error:
Can't locate GD.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl . /usr/local/cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi) at ./cgi/diskusage.cgi line 9.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./cgi/diskusage.cgi line 9.

/scripts/cleangd then try compiling apache with gd.

This did not work for me. I got failure errors.
Manually compiling GD and then re-compiling Apache would get rid of the error but I never got the graphics on the "Show Current Disk Usage" page. All I got was the tables and data but the graphics had the white square with the red X on them. Very frustating.


Anyway:
CentOS 3.5

Part of the problem was I had no idea I was either missing the gd-2.0.33 libraries or they were corrupt or something. I had to manually install this. gd is different from GD! I did not know that.
Install the gd libraries:

cd /root
wget http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.33.tar.gz
cd gd-2.0.33
./configure
make
make install

Then install GD:

wget http://cpan.mirror.solnet.ch/modules/by-module/GD/GD-2.30.tar.gz
zcat GD-2.30.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd GD-2.30
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

(btw, it also worked with GD-2.19)

I didn't have to recompile Apache or anything. Possibly because I had already compiled with GD? My graphics show up now when running System Health --> Show Current Disk Usage!

I hope this helps at least one person because I had almost given up on fixing this.
Thanks all who have contributed up to this point and please let me know if there is a potential problem with what I've just done. I hope cpanel update doesn't break this.

Thanks,

Tried this and it didnt work.

gdft.c:111:10: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>
make[2]: *** [gdft.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gd-2.0.33'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gd-2.0.33'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Even manually it doesnt want to compile.

[stinky]

Not sure but it seems that you need to get those libraries installed before installing GD. That is what I think my issue was.
If somehow you can get that going I think you'll be set. Sorry I am of no other help but trial and error is what got me fixed.
Good luck
