Installing php-gd

Hi,

I've installed php-imap, php-mycrypt, and php-mysql into my server using the command :

Code:

yum install libc-client

rpm -i http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-imap-5.2.12-1.x86_64.rpm

Code:

yum install libmcrypt

rpm -i http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-mcrypt-5.2.12-1.x86_64.rpm

Code:

yum install php-mysql

rpm -i http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-mysql-5.2.12-1.x86_64.rpm

Now I want to install php-gd. The only version available for php5.2.12 in the webtatic repo is php-gd-5.2.12-1.1.

I do a :

Code:

yum install php-gd

rpm -i http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-gd-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64.rpm

The error that I get is :

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:php-common = 5.2.12-1.1 is needed by php-gd-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64

So I do a :

Code:

rpm -i http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64.rpm

And then the error that I get is :

Code:

file /usr/lib64/php/modules/curl.so from install of php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-common-5.2.12-1.x86_64

file /usr/lib64/php/modules/dbase.so from install of php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-common-5.2.12-1.x86_64

file /usr/lib64/php/modules/json.so from install of php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-common-5.2.12-1.x86_64

file /usr/lib64/php/modules/zip.so from install of php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package php-common-5.2.12-1.x86_64

My boss insists that I install a php-gd-5.2.12.1.x86_64 and does not want me to remove all the php-common-5.2.12.1.x86_64.

The reason I want to remove php-common-5.2.12.1.x86_64 is so that I can install the newer package, which is php-common-5.2.12.1.1.x86_64.

Please give a link or guide me on how to install php-gd-5.2.12.1.x86_64

Try:

Code:

rpm -Uvh http://repo.webtatic.com/yum/centos/5/x86_64/php-common-5.2.12-1.1.x86_64.rpm

As it's already installed you should Upgrade not install

cheers

kbp is correct, you need to do an upgrade instead.

I rebuilt the PHP 5.2.12 rpms because of the 5.2.12-1 build having an x386 dependency. The newer 5.2.12-1.1 build only links to x86_64 dependencies.

Rather than use the rpm command to upgrade just php-common (there are more php packages installed that need upgrading), you should use yum (which I assume has already been set up with the webtatic repo).

You may want to check with your boss before doing this if it was him/her who set up the previous install.

yum upgrade --enablerepo=webtatic php

Then install php-gd

yum install --enablerepo=webtatic php-gd

rpm -Uvh : is the universal install command,
also used by yum / package managers.

rpm -i or rpm -ivh : is only to be used, if you
on purpose want two versions of the same (library)
package installed.
And is of course only possible, when the files have
different file names.
