gd located in perl bin, but doesn't work
« on: May 16, 2003, 08:32:47 PM »
I've search all over the forums for help regarding gd and I've spoken with a support person for my hosting provider. I ran the php_info() script and I don't see with -gd in the configure command line, but They say that gd is installed.

The error I'm getting is:
GD library error.
Check module settings.

I see gd listed with all of the perl modules, but I don't know if that means it's installed.
The path to the perl bin is /usr/bin/perl
What do i do?

I've been working on this for a week now and I'm lost.  :?

Gd may be installed but it sounds like your host's PHP installation wasn't built with it.  Your host needs to rebuild PHP and use the
Code: [Select]
--with-gd switch in the compile statement.  They should know how to do this.  Otherwise PHP won't have any knowledge about Gd

Yes, I was also having the same problem of the GD simply not being installed on PHP by my host, I files a support ticket with my host requesting that GD be installed for PHP, they did and now all works well. No more nasty GD errors.
