Hi all,

If there is a more appropriate forum, please direct me, I'm just out of resources on this one.

I've installed Apache 2 with mod_php via Mandrake's graphical software installer (think that's RPMdrake) and it says I've got php version 4.2.3. In this php version, there are some GD libraries bundled. In my googling over the last 6 hours, I found a post saying, that in Mandrake installs, these GD libraries are included in php, but not "enabled". So, I was directed to the php.ini file to make sure GD was included in the extensions. I find this in php.ini:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;
; If you wish to have an extension loaded automatically, use the following
; syntax:
;
; extension=msql.so
;
; ### MDK
; On Mandrake, we don't add the extensions in php.ini anymore, we put
; them in /etc/php/<number>_<name>.ini, for example 10_recode.ini.
;
; This is so that the RPMS can register themselves without having to
; modify the php.ini file.

So, in look in the /etc/php directory and when I "ls" there, i find only:

34_mysql.ini

Any clue how to enable these GD extensions or must I compile these programs instead of installing graphically so I can add a " --with" type dealie?

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks in advance,

Michelle

If you look at cd2 there is a rpm file name php-gd-4.3.4mdk.i586.rpm
