Hello, Firstly, download the freetype 2 tar.gz package from www.freetype.org web site and then install this package /usr/local. If you finish this step, you can install PHP and freetype together. But if you download and install GD, freetype 2, libpng, zlib,jpeg latest packages and compile them with PHP together, your problem will be fixed easily.:) -- Haydar TUNA Republic Of Turkey - Ministry of National Education Education Technology Department Ankara / TURKEY Web: http://www.haydartuna.net ""Mad Unix"" <madunix@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:4d3f56c90703042310y66e6f826ud9317cd522e97763@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > am trying to build a water mark on the web, when i call the > function imagettfbbox() > I get the following *Fatal error*: Call to undefined function > imagettfbbox() > in */usr/local/apache/htdocs/captcha.php* on line *60* > OS: RHEL4 > Pack: Apache2, PHP5.2, GD > Config: > './configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--enable-shared' > '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/' > '--enable-versioning' '--enable-track-vars=yes' > '--enable-url-includes--enable-sysvshm=yes' '--enable-sysvsem=yes' > '--with-gettext' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-calendar' > '--with-config-file-path=/etc' > '--with-oci8=/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1' '--enable-soap' > '--with-gd' '--enable-xml' '--with-xml' '--enable-sysvsem' > '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--with-regex=system' '--with-png' > '--with-ttf=/usr/lib' '--enable-sigchild' > '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib/jpeg-6b' > '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib/freetype' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib/' > > gd > GD Support enabled > GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible) > GIF Read Support enabled > GIF Create Support enabled > PNG Support enabled > WBMP Support enabled > XBM Support enabled > > any help > -- > madunix > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
