How to install GD2 Library ?

What isn't working when you try to install the GD2 Library?

Yes, you will need to rebuild PHP5 as well (the tutorial for it hasn't been updated yet, but if you substitute the original configuration that comes with Leopard (see php -i), it will work.

Before rebuilding PHP you must get the GD Libraries to install. You have yet to say what problems you had.

After having installed the GD Library, you can use the PHP instructions for 10.4.x found in the same place (but you will need to change a few things).

Look for the PHP5 section. Use the instructions, but use XCode 3 and replace the configuration string with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-dependency-tracking --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-ldap=/usr --with-kerberos=/usr --enable-cli --with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-trans-sid --with-xml --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex --enable-dbx --enable-sockets --with-iodbc=/usr --with-curl=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --sysconfdir=/private/etc --with-mysql-sock=/var/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-mysql=/usr --with-openssl --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl=/usr --without-pear --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-gd=/usr/local

Friendly advice: No offence meant, but if this is over your head, have somebody else do this for you. You can mess up your system.

Follow the tutorial at http://www.veola.net/macintosh/adding-gd-library-for-mac-os-x-leopard
it works like a charm.

This an almost literal transcription of my instructions on building the GD Graphic Library on Mac OS X. At least they had the decency to mention that they looked up the tutorial on topicdesk.com.

Unfortunately, they are basing this on instructions which are obsolete and install stuff that isn't needed. zlib and libpng are already present in the X11 tree on Leopard. Installing them again will leave you with two instances which can cause issues. This is why we have split the GD tutorial into a Tiger and a Leopard version.

The reason we have yet to publish instructions on how to tie GD into PHP5 on Leopard has to do with several changes made by Apple and we'd rather test once too often. As you know you can either integrate a module or re-build PHP5 to add functionality. Both methods have pros and cons and especially on OS X Server can have side effects on the functionality of other software.

We will release thoroughly tested instructions on integrating GD into PHP soon.

I have now added the tutorial on Adding the GD Extension to PHP5 on OS X Server 10.5.x to my site.

It takes into account what is and isn't already installed with Mac OS X Server 10.5 and Developer Tools 3.0 and will guide you through enabling GD for PHP5 without tampering with Apple's default installation. Only modules not already present will be added to avoid duplicate libraries and resulting issues.

HTH,

I am trying to setup GD with the default PHP build that comes preinstalled on Leopard, but I am unable to get it work correctly.

So far I have followed these instructions to get PHP5 working with with Apache2, this works fine and I am able to setup multiple virtual hosts for each of my websites and I have also downloaded and installed MySQL 5.0.45 which is now working fine with PHP the only problem is trying to get the extensions working.

I then tried following: Add the GD Extension to PHP5 on OS X Server 10.5.x guide to install GD2, which all seemed to work in the terminal, but after I restarted Apache and reloaded my phpinfo() there is still no mention of GD.

Any ideas why it isn't working (PS I have installed Xcode and X11SDK, from the Leopard DVD)

Heres my terminal log:

Since you mention installing MySQL, I assume you are not using Leopard Server. The instructions you followed are meant (as mentioned in the tutorial) for Leopard Server.

That said, they also work on a CLEAN Leopard Client install (which yours probably isn't anymore).

From the output you show, the extension compiled and installed correctly. Make sure you have added the extension to /etc/php.ini
Other than that, try and find out what changes you made that could have an impact.

Good point, I am using the standard versions of Leopard (and not the server edition), not too sure if this would make too much difference.

I have added: <pre>extension=gd.so</pre> to my /etc/php.ini and restarted with no success.

I am getting an odd error in my error_log file though, perhaps its a file permissions thing or it can't find gd.so, if so where abouts should it be located and what permissions should it have?

I followed the instructions from topicdesk exactly. The gd.so library builds as advertises but does not test properly when a 'make test' is executed. After correctly modifying my php.ini, the web log is telling me that gd.so fails to load - so there is something wrong somewhere. I am running the php 5.2.4 and apache 2.2. (Note: I ran a 'make test' after copying the library to the correct location just to see if it was working.)

Here are a snippet of the errors from 'make test'

----------------
The 'unable to load dynamic library' is also happening in the webserver.

I have the same issue as Adam Wizon. I followed pterobyte comprehensive tutorials and everything installed successfully on a Leopard Server, however when I attempt to load the GD extension, I receive the same error when performing a 'make test'. I completed the 'make install' process and now upon any CLI issued "php -m" or "php -i" command, I get the following:

dyld: NSLinkModule() error
dyld: Symbol not found: php_siggif
Referenced from: /usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/gd.so

Trace/BPT trap


When I comment out the gd.so extension in /etc/php.ini then this behavior disappears, so it is definitely related to the GD module and this configuration of PHP. With the extension enabled, I am able to generate graphics in PHP and utilize the GD module to a limited degree, however I am unable to access the Freetype module and using ImageTTFText commands produces a 0 byte display result. Any insight and potential fix suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Hal.

@sebf
Check php.ini for
extension_dir = "./"
and comment it out or remove it if present.




@Adam Wizon and MrHali
The CLI version of PHP compiled into OS X Server is not capable of loading dynamic libraries. Thus make test and php -m will fail.


@All using Leopard Client
I just did a clean install of Leopard Client, enabled PHP5 in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, applied the tutorial. Works without issues and info.php shows the GD Library.
As I mentioned before, no particular testing has been done on client and I will not further investigate this. Sorry, can't test all variations. Even just installing MySQL (which is already present on Server) can change the picture.


@MrHali
It is possible that not all functions are available through the module. Obviously we don't have as much control over what is installed when using the pre-made modules.
For full functionality it would be much better to compile everything needed into PHP5. I am working on this. Not as easy under Leopard as under Tiger, since a few libraries which are compiled into PHP are missing in the sources.

Thanks for your thoughts, pterobyte. I look forward to reading your updated PHP5 build tutorial.

I guess that means I will have to download and rebuild php w/gd?
