Re: php 4.0.6 and GD

I ran into the same problem with 4.0.5 I solved it by creating libgd.a and pointing the configure script to the directory containing it. the gd 2.0.1 readme says: gd lets you create PNG or JPEG images on the fly. To use gd in your program, include the file gd.h, and link with the libgd.a library produced by "make libgd.a", under Unix. Under other operating systems you will add gd.c to your own project. just go into your gd dir and "make libgd.a", then reconfigure your php install like the following: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars --with-config-path-file=/etc --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-gd=/path/to/libgd.a/dir --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 -- Jani Taskinen wrote: > > Try checking the mailing list archives.
