[BlueOnyx:01107] Re: Problem with PHP not using GD

[Chuck Tetlow]

Michael,

I get the following in the "Configure Command":
'--with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d' 
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' 
'--without-gd'

I could include the entire output - but I believe those are the important parts.

In the "additional .ini files parsed section - I get:
/etc/php.d/gd.ini

And I knew that file existed - it contains:

[root at server50 php.d]# cat gd.ini
; Enable gd extension module
extension=gd.so
[root at server50 php.d]#

But it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  When you ldd to check for the libraries that PHP is using, that GD library isn't among them.  And this test seems to indicate that PHP was specifically compiled without GD support.

Any suggestions?  And thanks for your help.

Chuck

ODD - I also see "'--without-mysql'" in the "Configure Command" output.  Could this affect its MySQL usage?  I've been having some PHP/MySQL problems too!!
