How to install GD 2.0.29 or higher?

[amilo]

Hello

Can anyone help me installing:

GD Version bundled (2.0.29 or higher)

2.0.28 is not supporting animated GIFs (WHM installs 2.0.28)

WHM installed 2.0.28, not higher

Thanks
Amilo

Hello amilo :

the last stable versin is 2.0.33 . you can upgrade GD by:
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.33.tar.gz
tar -czvf gd-2.0.33.tar.gz
cd gd-2.0.33
./configure --prefix=/usr
##BY DEFAULT, THE LIBRARY IS INSTALLED IN /usr/local/lib and the include files are ##installed in /usr/local/include , but as you said , you want to upgrade to higher version , ##so use ./configure --prefix=/usr .

make
make install

for furhter information :

tar -czvf gd-2.0.33.tar.gz

I think you actually meant to say ...

tar -zxvf gd-2.0.33.tar.gz

I got a pot of hot coffee sitting here if you want some

Hello guys

I installed GD like instructed (thanks Ali and Spiral ), but when checking server with phpinfo() it still says GD version Bundled(2.0.28 compatible)

Is this normall? Is there an other way to check if the install was succesfull?

Thanks

hello again,

I also tried to install it with only ./configure, but I still keep having the GD version 2.0.28 when retrieving info with the phpinfo() command.

Maybe I have now 2 versions running (usr/local/lib and usr/lib), or none, I don't know.
Any hep would be welcome...

Greetings

Thank for the info too.


I see the GD is installed in menu Main >> Software >> Install a RPM
But I couldn't find GD in unix command. Is these normal ?
Then I tried to click reinstall.
It said "gd: installed version 1.8.4-11 is up to date, no action needed."


Is it safe to manual install v2.x.x ?

Unless you really need an up-to-date version of GD, otherwise you don't have to. It should be safe to install GD manually, at the prompt.

In addition, you need to follow the instructions very carefully and use the full commands as instructed.

phpinfo() shows the current version installed on your server and that means your installation was successful.

Followed these as well and phpinfo still says GD version 2.0.28 compatible for me too. Can anyone confirm that it still says this even after upgraded?

Note for newbies:

For my problem, after I read all whole day, I found that I have to recomplie apache with GD enable.

Main >> Software >> Update Apache

Use default options but checklist at GD

When see in phpinfo, I have v2.0.28 too.
I am on release tree version.
