Hi Rich, I've been able to install php with both gd and pdflib compiled in, however when I run a php page testing pdflib I get an error. This is the php page file I use to test pdf functionality: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <?PHP $file = fopen("testPDF.pdf", "w"); $dokument = pdf_open($file); pdf_begin_page($dokument, 200, 100); pdf_set_font($dokument,"Times-Roman",14, "winansi"); pdf_set_text_pos($dokument,20,50); pdf_show($dokument,"PDFLib is working"); pdf_end_page($dokument); $dokument = pdf_close($dokument); fclose($file); header("location:php.pdf\n\n"); ?> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ and this is the error: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fatal error: PDFlib error: [1102] PDF_begin_page: Parameter 'width' must be positive in /var/www/htdocs/testPDF.php on line 4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, 2004-08-17 at 01:53, Willis, Rich wrote:

I don't know if this would help but why not try to load the newest Redhat 9 version of libpng and libpng-devel and reload gd and then check to see if /usr/lib/libpng.a and libpng.so exist and redo php configure and install ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/9/en/os/i386/ rpm -Uvh libpng-1.2.2-20.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh libpng-devel-1.2.2-20.i386.rpm ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ rpm -Uvh gd-1.8.4-11.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh gd-devel-1.8.4-11.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh gd-progs-1.8.4-11.i386.rpm Hope this helps Regards, Rich On Sat, 14 Aug 2004 19:57:02 +0930 "Luke (Terry) Vanderfluit" <luke@chipcity.com.au> wrote:

Hi, I'm installing php4.3.8 on a RedHat 9 system.
