#47812 [Asn]: undefined symbol: gdJpegGetVersionInt

ID: 47812 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: oeriksson at mandriva dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: GD related Operating System: Mandriva Linux PHP Version: 5.3.0RC1 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment: Right, so you figured it out. You are talking to Pierre here. He is the upstream maintainer of the library. And the library is a PHP project. Telling us to do a better job pushing changes upstream (to ourselves?) doesn't make much sense. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:14:17] oeriksson at mandriva dot com Upstream gd is nowadays libgd.org and I read there "The library was originally developped by Thomas Boutell and is now maintained by Pierre-A. Joye under the umbrella of PHP.net.". Is this a problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:05:33] pajoye@php.net You missed my point. These distributions do not have updated libraries, or even worst for debian, they break the compatibility with the normal GD. I'm working to sync the external gd and php's gd so both can be used smoothly, but I have serious doubts that Debian will change, for example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 20:04:23] rasmus@php.net That argument completely falls apart if you do a bit of research on who the upstream for the gd library is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 19:59:07] oeriksson at mandriva dot com The PHP devs should try harder to not bundle common libraries and instead push private changes upstream (IMHO). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-27 19:49:27] pajoye@php.net You should really not use the system libgd, especially not on the following systems: - debian - RHEL - Centos The problem still has to be fixed tho' :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
