recompile php 5.1.4 against a new version of GD and mysql support

mariogarcia · 08-28-2006, 03:09 AM

Hello
it seems that php 5 has included the gd library, but it happens that it doesn't have jpeg support therefore i installed and configured libjpeg (jpeg-6b) and downloaded a version of GD 2.0.33 and compiled it and installed.
then i configured php with the --with-gd switch as well as --with-mysql.
do i have to specify the directory for mysql and gd? or to jpeg-6b?
thank you in advance

Since you've installed your own gd and jpeg libraries you must include the libraries installation path in your ./configure script. Mind that from php 5.x you have to give also the directory where mysql_config is. So, I guess the following will work in your case:

Code:

./configure --with-mysql=/path/tol/mysql  –with-mysqli=/path/to/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-gd=/path/to/gd-lib -with-jpeg=/path/to/jpeg-lib --with-zlib ...

The default installation dir is /usr/lib. If you installed using your package manager they should be in /usr/lib. If you compiled your own versions of gd and libjpeg from source they've installed in the dir you defined with your ./configure script (the --prefix=.. option).
If you are unsure you can use

Code:

updatedb
locate libgd
locate libjpeg
