Recompiling PHP with GD Supprt?

[ctittle]

First of all, I would like to thank the author for proviidng such great scripts and support!

I've been googling for the past three days and I cant seem to find a real good source for me. I have php 4.3.9 installed on a Redhat Enterprise server (I believe it's a RPM installation). I have no GD Support displaying in the phpinfo() spit out, but the image does load in the interface loader, but it doesnt crop. So I decided to install GD library into /usr/local/lib . Now I'm not sure where to go. I have no idea how to recompile php, I have been seening ./configure etc etc of the source, but I dont even think I have the original source files. My command line in php info is:

./configure' '--build=i386-redhat-linux' '--host=i386-redhat-linux' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu' '--program-prefix=' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--cache-file=../config.cache' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db4=/usr' '--with-curl' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd=shared' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--without-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-ncurses=shared' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-pspell' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-dom=shared,/usr' '--with-dom-xslt=/usr' '--with-dom-exslt=/usr' '--with-xmlrpc=shared' '--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-pear=/usr/share/pear' '--with-imap=shared' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared' '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--enable-mbstring=shared' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/file/magic.mime' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs'


Any help with how/where to do the ./configure of PHP so GD library is loaded, would be appreciated!


Thanks again

Hi Chris, and welcome to the board!

You are certainly right in that it's not cropping because GD is not available. You configure looks to have it included for PHP, so perhaps there's a problem with the library?

Save that configure to a file so you have a back up of it. Then check out the instructions here:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2003/03/27/php_gd.html

That might help you out. Once you're done with that, and (hopefully) GD works, then integrate what you've done back in to your big config string and re-configure so you get all the rest of the functionality back that you're used to.
