redhat linux 9
i had installed php+mysql+apache on the OS
and also GD library installed
but when I use phpinfo() to show ,the result contains no GD library
i want to know how to link the GD library with the php?

Make sure your ./configure line for PHP contains

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache2 --with-jpeg-dir=/home/stefan/jpeglib --with-png-dir=/home/stefan/pnglib --with-tiff-dir=/home/stefan/tiff --with-freetype-dir=/home/stefan/freetype-2.1.10 --with-gd

when compiling PHP.

This should insure that GD will be picked up in PHP, and that its full range of graphics formats will be supported. (Of course, you'll need to provide your own jpeglib, pnglig and tiff libs, as well as your own freetype location - those given above are only valid on my system, where I installed them myself.)

you mean,i need to recompile my php?

Yep... you will need to do that.

Hi,

i have the same problem at the moment (running debian etch)..
I installed php via the APT tool..May i use /.configure --with-gd anyway?

Because with "dpkg-reconfigure php4" it didn´t work..
