GD does not recompile with Apache when selected

[nsusa]

I recompiled Apache earlier this week. I selected the previous configuration and started the build process. GD was installed before, but is not making it into the new build for whatever reason. It does not show up on phpinfo either. However - when I am in WHM and go to update Apache and select previous configuration it is selected.

When I query for the RPM I get this:

[~]# rpm --query --list gd
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8
/usr/lib/libgd.so.1.8.4
/usr/share/doc/gd-1.8.4
/usr/share/doc/gd-1.8.4/index.html
/usr/share/doc/gd-1.8.4/readme.txt

The server in question is running this configuration:

WHM 10.8.0 cPanel 10.8.1-R113
RedHat Enterprise 3 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0

Any idea what might be wrong in this case?

Thanks.

AFAIK cPanel's buildapache scripts dont use RPM's, try removing the RPM and re-compile

[nsusa]

I used the WHM scripts as well as I tried easyapache via SSH - wouldn't they ignore the RPMs in that case?

I assume they would ignore the RPM's but it is likely that you have 2 versions of GD on your system given that you have the RPM installed.

Thanks, Nick. I am not such a experienced Linux admin. Do you know the uninstall command I would have to use in this case?

rpm -e is the command you need to remove the rpm, get the full rpm name from the list (with all its revision number and place that after the -e with a space in between:

e.g. #: rpm -e packagename-1.34-2

Tried to remove it, but that does fail:

[~]# rpm -e gd-1.8.4-12.3.1
error: Failed dependencies:
libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.44
gd = 1.8.4 is needed by (installed) gd-devel-1.8.4-12.3.1
gd = 1.8.4 is needed by (installed) gd-progs-1.8.4-12.3.1

Alright. Maybe this helps anyone else having the same problem. Here is how I got it fixed:

1) Run /scripts/upcp --force
2) Run /scripts/easyapache
Select 7th option
Select 'PHP Module ---->' and hit enter.
Select GD using space bar. In my case it was already selected and I just exited out.
Select 'Exit', again select 'Exit' and then say 'Yes' to save.
Let the script execute completely and you will find GD is installed on your machine.
