For the definition of some needed graphical functions, I depend on gd compiled into php. As I am using a linux gentoo2.6.8.1 box, I use portage for that kind. I emerge'd php again, but with the USE-Flag +gd set, this seemed to work. But still the function php_info(); shows that php was compiled without gd support. What I did: emerge gd emerge php (+gd) emerge apache do I need the flag gd-external as well or what am I doing wrong? I tried to find a extension entry in the php.ini but all I could find was a .dll entry, and under linux, this can't be the right thing :) Well, I thank you for your consideration and hope to having written it clearly enough(in a few words: gd doesn't get compiled into php, why?) and I'm thankful for every hint greets Patrick -- Patrick Fehr Swiss Federal Institute Of Technology -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
