Hi Yasuo, I had a look at the README you suggested but couldn't get my head around the complexities of building it. I use this command line in the newly created extension directory, per the README.
./configure --with-php-config=/usr/local/src/php- 4.1.0/pear/scripts/php-config It bombs out with: checking for XpmFreeXpmImage in -lXpm... no configure: error: Problem with libXpm.(a|so) or libX11.(a|so). Please check config.log for more information. And I can't figure out how to get it past this - no matter what "-- without" option combination I try it still glitches on this. I should add that this problem (gd.a getting created instead of gd.so) occurs on all our varied development machines. Any other ideas? Jason.
