note 89373 added to image.installation

"To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory." I have never had to configure PHP, and this statement makes no sense to me because I don't know if this refers to a config file or an option to use while compiling, or even if GD is something I'm going to have to download or if it is already part of PHP. There will be other noobs setting up LAMP servers for the first time landing here, so a link to some guidance would be good. Ubuntu command-line instructions perhaps? ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 86.132.230.163 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89373 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89373 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89373 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
