How to install GD2 Library ?

If it is the only problem you have then just issue:
cd /usr/bin/
sudo mv php.dSYM php

(If you have a 64-bit CPU then you probably will have other issues as well)

ok, i did it...it works...almost 😟
actually when i execute the php command, i think it's launched...but when i launch it with the System Preferences / Shared (i hope that's the good translation because i have the french graphical interface 🙂 it doesn't work at all 😟
and, finally, to be sure it will work, i made a symbolic link from php.dSYM to php.
I think the problem comes from my apache. When i try to launch my apache server with the httpd command, i have :

httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

error...but the libphp5.so is there (/usr/libexec/apache2/)

Thanks

You say you start the web server through System Preferences -> Sharing. This means you are using Leopard Client. This is the server forum, so not everything applies to client.

That said, you have a 64-bit capable CPU. Thus, apache will try to load the 64-bit image from libphp5.so. However the way you built PHP this is not possible.

Either build PHP with multiple architectures or build your own Apache before building PHP.

ok, i'll try that, and sorry about posting in the wrong thread, i just saw the title "How to install GD2 Library" but not the "Mac OSX Server 10.5 Leopard" :-s However, thank you 🙂

Hello and thanks for all your help an instruction.

I built gd.so, change php.ini and the GD section shows up in my phpinfo().
But I am having trouble using it.
Typo3 GIFBUILDER isn't drawing any gifs and when I try to enter some sections in the Install Tool the page does not get loaded but I get lots of entries in my httpd/error_log



The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec().
Break on _THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___Y OU_MUST_EXEC_() to debug.

Can anyone help my out of this?
How can I try if gd.so is okay?

I am struggling for hours without any result.

Thanks in advance and greetings
Martin

PS: I am on Mac OS X Client

Where can I find the locations for things like zlib, jpegdir, png dir, etc?

I'm using Leopard Server.

Trying to run the command:

./configure --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/
local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-freetype-
dir=/usr/X11R6 --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6

Just wanted to let you all know that after re-installing OSX 10.5.1 Server for 6 times to try to get GD lib working in all poossible and imaginable ways found around the net I finally found my solution in this thread:

change:

extension_dir = "./"

to

;extension_dir = "./"

in /etc/php.ini

that solved it for me and like magic the gd appeared in my php info and is available in Typo3 ... 🙂 great, only took me 4 days to figure this out but by now i'm really fluent in installing and setting up Leopard Server ...

It seems GDlib is not working properly though since i get a

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function ImageTTFBBox() in /Library/WebServer/Documents/typo3 src-4.1.3/t3lib/class.t3libstdgraphic.php on line 970"

But i think i messed up since i re-installed gd several times i think. So i'll need one more re-install from scratch.
