what does it want me to install and where can i get it?

thx in advanced..

BTW im running mandrake 9.2

Try to read install instructions next time:

Q: I get "libgd not found' errors?
A: You don't have the GD graphics located in a standard library
path, or you don't have the GD graphics library at all. If
the later, go to http://www.boutell.com/gd/ and grab a copy.
If you do have it, add a -L switch in the Makefile to point
to the proper location.

lol i did read the install.. else i wouldnt have had a clue on how to even get taht far :/ i just miss things (power reading)


anywayz.. i got that all installed and now im getting a error when running it

webalizer: error while loading shared libraries: libgd.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

couldnt find anything about that

This error can mean you have to re-link your libraries. Run ldconfig -v and check if libgd.so.2 corresponds with your actual version of this library.

Here's what I did on my installation.

First, make sure that you have a copy the gd package from www.boutell.com. Get the source of the old version (1.8.x) and not the 2.x. Webalizer doesnt seem to work with version 2.

extract and compile gd

1. tar xzvf gd-1.8.4.tar.gz
2. cd gd-1.8.4
3. make
4. make install

*another problem with installing gd is that it requires additional libraries for png and jpeg, so make sure you have libpng and libjpeg before installing gd. Read the gd FAQ, it describes how and where to get these additional libs.

extract and compile webalizer

1. tar xjvf webalizer-2.01-10-src.tar.bz2
2. cd webalizer-2.01-10
3. ./configure --with-gd=/usr/local/lib
4. make
5. make install

I had the same problem. I found solution at
