Installing GD2 with PHP on linux

[usafshah]

Hi guys


I'm using fedora core 6, php5 and apache2, i downloaded gd2 compiled and test with gddemo and its working fine...

php is located: /usr/local/php
gd is located: /usr/local/gd


how should i make it working with php, i have tried to recompile php with the following command

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/local/gd

last time i compiled php with the following command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
but still when i see through phpinfo();

i'm getting

Configure Command './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'

I have put the line in php.ini

extension=gd.so
and
also un-commented the line
extension=php_gd2.dll

but in vain

Is there a reason you decided you would like to compile PHP and GD from source, as opposed to using a package manager such as yum?

i dont know about yum, how can i do this with yum ?

The Nothing to do message means it did not install...
Odd...this worked for me.
Could you post the results of the following commands for me?

yum search php-gd
 
yum search gd
 
yum install gd*

Strange...Try running "yum install php-gd" again...I have no idea why it didn't work.
