GD fails

[thomas]

Hi all,

I am downgrading PHP from 4.3.0 to 4.2.3, and need GD support, but it always fails with this error:

no - FreeType 2.x is to be used instead
checking for T1lib support... no
configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under ../gd-2.0.11
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.


httpd has failed, please contact the sysadmin.

Does anyone have a solution to this? never had this problem with GD on this server before.

The path to gd may be incorrect , the buildapaches seem to have the incorrect path when compiling php 4.2.3 with the upgraded version of gd - try compiling php by

cd /cpapachebuild/buildapache/php-4.2.3 (or where you downloaded it to)

Compile gd with --with-gd and not --with-gd=../gd-2.0.11
along with your other options.

Hope that helps

Thanks, tried that.

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-mcrypt --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysql --with-pear --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-versioning --with-zlib

During 'make' it stops with this error:

this one worked for me.

'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '-- enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--with-pear' '-- enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd' '-- enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-jpeg-dir'

good luck!

 

[maxx]

although, on second look, that configure statement was with php 4.3.0.

sorry about that.

 

[thomas]

No problem.

I started over, removed the php dir, extracted it again.

During make now, I get this error:

Try /scripts/fixheaders

Then compile the gd package (*you might want to try compiling gd 2.0.4 from your old build again)

Then recompile php to where you installed gd.

Good luck.

Never mind, I remembered I read 4.2.3 had to be patched to work with GD 2.0.8 ->, once I did that it compiled without errors.

Thanks guys!!

Now I need to get some sleep.

 

[hostbet]

Can you share were you get the patch and how...
I have the same problem.

You can get it here:
