php and aptitude installation

#1 Post by dkelly60 »

I am new to linux so please excuse my ignorance.
I have recently installed a debian system to use as a test server for website development. I installed apache2, php, mysql via aptitude.

My question is I have tried to install a php package that informs me that php does not have gd configured so I have to configure with gd.

How do I do this? I can't find the source directory for PHP4 and I was wondering if I recompile PHP with gd will this disrupt aptitude's ability to manage the installation?

thanks for any help

Just install the gd module. aptitude install php4-gd, and make sure it ends up in your /etc/php4/something/php.ini as loadmodule=gd.so or so.
