Hi linux friends,

I've a peculiar problem. I'll describe the environment first.

I'm using Centos 4 distros in all of personal and company machines.
My personal Centos 4 (now 4.4) has been installed when it was 4.2 and
upgraded as newer versions were published and machine is now totally
up-to-date. I needed a new server in office. No problems in
installation, updated all pending patches/new versions. I noticed that
if you make only as a server installation, a lot of application/programs
which Typo3 depends has to be installed later ! This has to be
documented later but this is not a problem or right time now.

The problem:
My home server (also desktop) has in Typo3 Install tool it notes that
GDLib is installed OK. This despite to default configuration for
compilation of PHP (5.1.6) tells --without-gd. But phpinfo shows gd
(2.0.28) information. And mostly this Typo3 works in this machine.
The new server has exactly same situation in progs/applications but,
phpinfo does not show any information of gd and Typo3 Install tool
complains missing GDLib.

This is the configuration of PHP 5.1.6 which is similar (of-course) in
both machines.

'./configure' '--build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu'
'--host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu' '--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu'

'--without-mysql' '--without-gd' '--without-odbc' '--disable-dom'
'--disable-dba' '--without-unixODBC' '--disable-pdo'
'--disable-xmlreader' '--disable-xmlwriter'

Questions:
- how Typo3 searches if GDLib is installed ? If I correctly understand
it looks from PHP not from the directory structure.
- how can I get the same situation that PHP in server understands that
there is GD in the machine just like in my home machine ?
- do You know if there is any, quite new, documentation of the
prerequisites of various programs Typo3 needs. Something like: typo3
version, program1 name, program1 version, program2 name, program2
version , etc.
This is essential as there is a lot of programs Typo3 needs and they
aren't documented anywhere. Not all distros (pro versions) have
libraries for desktop environment if they are used as server. And
secondly, servers get more and more compromised if You have to update
and upgrade the manually, also the monitoring of new versions and
security patches is impossible.

Cheers,
Kari

Heya,

depending on what you use to maintain your System, yum or plain rpm,
either of both should show you if it is installed.

For PHP with GD you need:

php-common
gd

and for sure

php-gd

from repository (rpm package names are quite similar)

So "rpm -qi php-common" and "rpm -qi gd" should give a
positive match. Then you can install "php-gd" from repository
or via RPM (whatever you prefer just dont mix)

Yes it is compiled without gd, pear and some other stuff. Thats okay,
you use Modules from the Repo instead.

Standard installations dont necessary include all Modules for PHP.
Check this.

yes. A installed GD Lib is pointless if PHP dont support it.

Check if the php-gd Module is installed. I am quite sure its not.

Not really

Hi,

after "long walking" in source code of Typo3 and PHP, I was able to find
the problem and thus the issue is now solved.
Thank You of your attention. I hope "this issue" will be solved in future.

Cheers,
Kari
