[TYPO3-UG Australia] install gdlib woes

[Moore, Andrew (Busselton)]

Hi Voytek,

I would assume with most modern Linux distributions there would be a
package that would add GD support to PHP. Although I may be wrong, my
knowledge is almost all related to the distribution we use, Mandriva
Linux.

Mandriva has a package management system based on Red Hat's RPM system.
Hence to add GD support to PHP I simply have to install the 'php-gd'
package in the Software Management section of the Control Center or
type:

urpmi php-gd

on the command line.

According to Wikipedia, Centos is also based on Red Hat so I would
assume you could do something similar?

PHPInfo will have a whole GD section once GD is enabled in PHP, with the
top line reading "GD Support : Enabled" from my experience.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Andrew Moore

Bernie, thanks

I have Centos, phpinfo says:

...
'--with-gd=shared' '--enable-gd-native-ttf'
'--with-freetype-dir=/usr'
...

is that it ?
