Hello everyone: The old php configration is
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --enable-embed --enable-fd-setsize --with-openssl=/usr/local --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib --enable-calendar --enable-dba --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/jpeg-6b --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv --enable-mbstring --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-embedded-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-soap --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-zip And now I have to add *freetype* support for php. So I rebuilded php like this, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --enable-embed --enable-fd-setsize --with-openssl=/usr/local --with-zlib=/usr/local/zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/zlib --enable-calendar --enable-dba --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/jpeg-6b --with-png-dir=/usr/local/libpng --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv --enable-mbstring --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-embedded-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-soap --enable-sqlite-utf8 --enable-zip *--with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/freetype* ** But when I finished make && make install and restarted apache server, the freetype support was also disabled. The GD part in phpinfo() didn't show freetype support. And /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp5.so was a old version. Then I rebuilded php again without *--enable-embed*. The libphp5.so was updated, but freetype was not enabled. And when I restart apache, I will get a warning now. [Mon May 14 16:53:08 2007] [warn] module php5_module is already loaded, skipping My OS is Redhat AS4. Apache version is httpd-2.2.3. PHP is 5.2.0. Freetype was installed with RPM. And I also installed another one at /usr/lcoal/freetype with source code. So I think there are two problems: 1.What is the function of --enable-embed? If I use this option, what should I do to refresh php module for apache? 2.If I can rebuild php without --enable-embed successfully, how could I make freetype supported by php? I am sorry for my poor English.Thanks! Best Regards shiwen -- Shi Wen Shanghai, China
