JPEG support for PHP5 GD on RHEL 5
 

Hello,
I am currently running Apache2/PHP 5.2.9 on a x86_64 version of RHEL 5. I am trying to get JPEG support for GD installed. This the ./configure command I am using for compiling php"

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-gd --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64 --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib64

I have installed the libpng-devel and libjpeg-devel rpms. When compiling php I receive no errors in the ./configure, make, and make install commands.

I stop and restart apache without problems, but the GD block in PHP info does not have the line for JPEG support:

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

Thanks,
brian.

What is the output of:

The ./configure statement is actually this. The one I inputted above was from a different attempt (also not successful). This is the most recent compilation:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-gd --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib64

Doh, maybe it's because you have mixed 32 and 64bit libraries. You can try the Centos dev package, or try this, to compile it for a 64bit arch.

Hope that helps.

Problem solved.
 

Thanks for your help. I solved the problem. As usual with me it was user error. I wasn't doing a 'make clean' before running the ./configure command. I did a 'make clean' and ran the ./configure pointing to the correct 64-bit libs for png and jpeg and the 'make' and 'make install' worked and I got JPG support.

I didn't think that not doing 'make clean' would matter, but it did.
