Hi guys,

I am having a problem with my slackware version 12 server. I tried installing a new joomla theme from the rockettheme and its giving me the following error while loading the site.

--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefromjpeg() in /home/www/verticaltest/modules/mod_rokstories/thumbnail.inc.php on line 167
--------------

Thought it was a problem with gd library modules, but in info.php, its showing that gd is installed in the server. Pasting the result form info.php below..

--------------
Configure Command './configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-pdo-mysql=/usr' '--enable-mbstring' '--with-gd' '--with-imap=/root/software/imap-2007e' '--with-gettext' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mssql' '--enable-calendar' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib'



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
----------------

libgd locate result from the server

# locate libgd.so
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.0
/usr/lib/libgd.so

----------------

If gd is installed, what should be the problem? can anyone help me regarding this?

You might have the wrong version of GD installed from what the Joomla theme expects to be present.

I once had exactly the same problem when I deployed my PHP site on my live server (hosted by Hetzner) vs. my dev server (for which I compiled GD, PHP, Apache and MySQL myself.)

There was a version discrepancy between the GD I had on my dev server, and the GD available on the Hetzner server.

There was no way to get around the problem except to not use the functions that my server did not support while developing on the dev server (which had a newer GD version and supported more functions.)

For some reason, your GD extension to PHP was built without JPEG support. The info.php messages show GIF, PNG, WBMP and XPM but not JPEG. Did you build PHP yourself, or are you using the one that came with Slackware? If you built it yourself, you need to rebuild with JPEG. If you are using the Slackware version, I'm not sure why this would be so... The latest patch for Slackware 12 was php-5.2.17 (which is no longer supported by the PHP group) - is that what you have?

Also normally PHP does not use the system's libgd, as it has its own built in to the GD extension.

yes, you were right, I just compiled php with JPEG and the problem has been resolved...thanks anyway..
