Installing libraries

[bardley]

We are running Apache on RedHat 7.1 and PHP 4.0.6 (module version). We just recently discovered that we need to use the gd library, and it was not compiled as part of our module.

Could anyone give me basic steps to include this library so I can use image functions? (We tried once to recompile, and it did, but I still get undefined function errors when I call imagecreate, etc.) Brad Gunsalus

This is always a pain. I made a complete list of my compile methods to get GD and FreeType working with PHP. See the comment by rick@e-possibility.com at

There are quite a few other good user-contributed notes there, so you should be able to find the answer. If not, you should browse the [PHP-INSTALL] mailing list at
