AW: [Typo3-debian] Typo3.7.0 libpng install error

[Alexander Schories]

Hello Chris,



****** important first question ******

Do you use(d) unofficial packages from third party repositories, 

e.g. www.apt-get.org or www.backports.org or www.dotdeb.org or similar?


If YES, PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE and JUST MAIL US WHAT PACKAGE FROM WHAT third
party repositories you (have) use(d)!!!

If NO, its safe to continue with the steps below.

****** important first question ******




a) LIBGD / LIBGD2 / PHP4-GD / PHP4-GD2 packages you will need

as far as i can see from packages.debian.org the current official version
for libgd2 on woody is: libgd2 (2.0.1-10woody2)

Furhermore typo3 uses, as far as i remember, the gd2-library of course not
directly but via a php module, in your case php4-gd2 AND php4-gd. Be sure to
have php4-gd installed as well! Adam Conrad did his best by having set this
module (php4-gd) as an dependency in latest php4-gd2, but strange things
happen from time to time.. :)

So first check, if all current libraries and php4-modules are installed:


libgd2 (2.0.1-10woody2)

php4-gd2 (3:4.1.2-2)

php4-gd (4:4.1.2-7.0.1, 4:4.1.2-7)




b) LIBPNG(-dev) package you will need

Then please check whether libpng-dev is installed on your system. Its
current version is: libpng-dev (1.2.1-1.1.woody.9) 
Please DO NOT install (if installed, please remove) the package libpng2 on
woody! This version is, compared the package libpng-dev, *outdated* on woody
(although it might even sound newer!).


So please have installed:

libpng-dev (1.2.1-1.1.woody.9)

(REMOVE any version of libpng2 with    apt-get remove --purge libpng2   !!!)




c) All packages seem to be installed, but still no luck? Then please try
this:

Re-Install all above mentioned packages with


apt-get --reinstall libpng-dev libgd2 php4-gd php4-gd2



Please tell us your, hopefully positive, results. 


:)
