GD Library install for Coppermine

bambo123 · 01-09-2006, 02:13 AM

Hey,

I'm desperately trying to install GD Library (for use with Coppermine) on my web server running Mandrake 9.2, Apache 2.0, PHP 4.3.3

I don't have a gcc compiler on my server so I'm using a rpm for this.

I've installed gd-1.8.3-7-i386.rpm by running:
$rpm -Uvh gd-1.8.3-7.i386.rpm

now when I check if gd is installed by:
$rpm -q gd

I do get:
gd-1.8.3-7

but when checking whereis gd I get just "gd:"

I'd really appreciate your help on this one,

Hello!

Please install also gd-devel-{version}.i386.rpm
The devel package is needet for the system to know where all the libraries are located.

Greetz, Boby.

Thanks !!!

Do I need to do anything else for using GD in Coppermine?

You also need the php-gd module "php-gd-{version}"

That should be enough

I think.

Thanks again!

I've tried looking for the right version but so far I only found for PHP 4.2.3 (while mine is 4.3.3) - from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...p?query=php-gd

I've tried to install it, but got failed on 4 dependenices some of them I've already have such as lib gd 1.8.4.

I've also tried to intall php4-gd-4.3.3-12.i586.rpm but got failed on dependency: libgd (2.0.12) so should I uninstall gd and gd-dev 1.8.3 and install libgd 2.0.12 or is there no change for running i586 rpm at all on my machine?

Thanks again,
Sorry for the beginners questions...

you can install it without dependences

rpm -ivh filename.rpm --nodeps

yes, but it seems that none of these RPM's are for my machine. any idea where can I get this RPM?

bambo123 · 01-11-2006, 01:07 AM

I can't instal it with dependencies, because it is not the right version- (I get errors about missing directory)

I'd love to hear further ideas, I really need this done...

Maybe you can find some rpm's and additional info about rpm's here:
http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/
http://urpmi-addmedia.org/

Basically it's for urpmi.

These may also be good:
