Re: GD 2 on Mac OS X Server 10.4?

Hi all,

I'm in the process of setting up a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25 as an
Expression Engine (http://www.pmachine.com) development server.

All is going well, except GD/GD 2 support. OS X Server does not come
with GD 2 support out of the box. So I did some digging around, and
found others with the same problem.

The common advice from almost everybody, has been to run Marc Linyage's
PHP 5 installer from http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
This however, resulted in Apache not working, so I had to uninstall it
again, and restore the httpd.conf file from backup.

I then turned to Fink, at http://fink.sourceforge.net/

Fink downloaded and installed GD 2 plus all of the GD libraries fine,
but now I have no idea how to tell PHP and/or Apache, that the GD 2
libraries are installed.

Can anyone help me do that?

Apache couldn't care less about GD/GD2 but PHP needs to be *compiled* to
include support for it. In other words, if Marc's package doesn't float
your boat, then you'll need to download the PHP4/5 source and install
from that. I seriously think there wasn't something awry with your last
install attempt of Marc's package - it Just Works(tm) normally.

I'm running PHP 5.1.4 with GD2 support etc from Marc Linyage on OSX
10.4.7 on a MacMini (Intel CoreDuo) without any problems.

HTH a little,

James
