Hello, This is my first time using this because I am at my wits end. I have spend three hours recompiling php and I can't seem to get it to do what I want. I am trying to configure php to use gd. I know that in php 4.3.x gd is built in and I tried using the command --with-gd and that yielded errors. So I downloaded the gd library compiled and istalled that and then used the command --with-gd=/path that also yielded errors. I needed jpeg libs and png libs and zlib. I downloaded all the sources for these and compiled and installed them. Then I used all the corisponding commands --with-jpeg-dir and --with-png-dir and with-zlib-dir. Even though I am pointing to where these libs reside I get the error can not file libjpeg. try using --with-jpeg-dir (even though I did use it ) I took out the jpeg command only and reconfigured and it ran through fine, finding both the png lib and the zlib, but my php doesn't have jpeg support. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong and please help me get this configured with jpeg support. Thanks in advance.
