Re: how to compile PHP with GD support?



Encapsulin,
checking for the location of libpng... /usr/local/src/libpng-1.2.8/
If configure fails try --with-jpeg-dir=<DIR>
configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.

why libpng.(a|so) not found ?

# ls -l /usr/local/src/libpng-1.2.8/libpng.a
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  160448 May 31 12:48
/usr/local/src/libpng-1.2.8/libpng.a

What is my mistake? Where to read about correct way for installing php
+ gd + libjpeg + libpng ?

You may wish to check the PHP manual: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php


If it doesn't find libpng, libjpeg or libxpm it can fail.
You may wish to specify the directory...
--with-jpeg-dir=DIR --with-png-dir=DIR --with-xpm-dir=DIR

Also note that libpng requires the zlib library :) so you may need to add --with-zlib-dir=DIR

Hope that helps.
