PHP compiling issues

turbo_acura · 10-15-2004, 08:02 AM

when I try to compile PHP (w/ apache), it says the libpng.a|so is not found. I've added /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and did a 'ldconfig'. I have a libpng.so.3 which i'm assuming is a newer version of the file? i could just create a static link 'ln -s' but i'm guessing there are tons of other files that woud need linking. The compile recommends maybe trying a '--with-jpeg-dir' which I have no idea what that is. I'm running Redhat Enterprise 3.0.

Thanks!

What version of libpng do you have installed?

rpm -qa | grep libpng

This will tell you the version. And what version of PHP are you trying to install? Do you also have a libpng12.so.0 file? The latest version of libpng is libpng-1.2.5

I have libpng 1.2.2-22 running. I do have the file libpng.so.0 I'm trying to install PHP 4.3.9

even though libpng is already installed as 1.2.2-22, the file PHP is looking for when its compiling is 'libpng.so.0' and that file isn't there..would it make a difference if i upgrade to 1.2.5 and install the libpng.so.0 file?

sorry, the other reply i meant that, i do have the file libpng12.so.0, NOT libpng.so.0 (otherwise I wouldn't have this problem!) :P

One other thing I looked into is when i compile php with the option '--with-gd' I think that could be the problem..

I figured it out! I installed GD
