moregroupware installation
 

I have also posted in linux newbie...so be warned....

I have MEPIS 3.3.1 installed from the MEPIS website (iso download and istall). I have the apache server up and running, and I checked php, and it is running.

I downloaded the php.tar.gz files (core and addons) and have them unpacked in the /www folder.

I have given the moregroupware folder read/write permissions as moregroupware requests.

However, MEPIS 3.3.1 does not have the gd php extention enabled....How might I go about doing that? I understand I could

./configure --with-gd
make
make install

However, my current phpinfo indicates the following:

'../configure' '--prefix=/usr'
'--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/php4/apache2'
'--enable-memory-limit' '--disable-debug'
'--with-regex=php' '--disable-rpath'
'--disable-static' '--with-pic' '--with-layout=GNU'
'--with-pear=/usr/share/php' '--enable-calendar'
'--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm'
'--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-track-vars'
'--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2'
'--enable-ctype' '--with-db4' '--with-iconv'
'--enable-exif' '--enable-filepro' '--enable-ftp'
'--with-gettext' '--enable-mbstring'
'--with-pcre-regex=/usr' '--enable-shmop'
'--enable-sockets' '--enable-wddx' '--disable-xml'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-xmlrpc' '--enable-yp'
'--with-zlib' '--without-pgsql' '--with-kerberos=/usr'
'--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-zip=/usr' '--enable-dbx'
'--with-mime-magic=/usr/share/misc/file/magic.mime'
'--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php4/libexec' '--without-mm'
'--without-mysql' '--without-sybase-ct'

So, two questions:

1. Where in &^%&$ is the php located? I look in /etc/php4 but only see a folder called Apache2; I look in /var/lib/ but see a php4 with a "no access sign"...lol..."newb here" pastered on forehead....

2. If I want to recompile (which, believe it or not, I am willing to try (no try no learn...), is the command ./configure --prefix=.....(all that listed above + --with-gd

Any reference, etc. would be appreciated, not to mention any assistance.

You need to use root mode. Navigate to /var/lib in Konqueror, right-click->Actions->Open(as root) and type your root password. But i have no idea if that is the right folder or anything.
