solaris box .. filled with gnu stuff. gcc,gnu linker and gnu make. 

compiled gd-2.0.1 (i need the  truecolor image function imagecreatetruecolor)
when i use 

--with-gd=/usr/local/lib 

configure ends with an error that it cannot find libgd.(so|a). 
but both libgd.a and libgd.so are there. 

i tried to modify the configure script but failed.

The configure script improved quite a lot since then. Can you try at leasting compiling a more recent version, e.g. http://www.php.net/~zeev/php-4.1.0RC3.tar.gz ?

If still doesn't work can you paste, say, the last 10-20 lines of your config.log?

in the meantime  i got i running by pointing the --with-gd dir to the
dir where i compiled gd-2.0.1 !!!! don't ask me why it works now .

when i submitted the "bug" i  i saw that there is a 4.1 version. but was to 
blind to find a link on the page. 
maybe the php.net guys could point a link to the "beta" version on the 
download page.

 ... big THX for fast response. 

bye	werner

compiled it (on an sparc u10:sol8,gcc) with: 
./configure --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \ --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-gd=/home/compile/gd-2.0.1

Werner, it was a pleasure for me (remind my name? :)

Anyway, can you give it a test run with RC3 link I pasted so we see if the situation has cleared?

There is certainly a bug hiding somewhere ... possibly.

Feedback.

Please ask support questions on the mailing lists:

Not a bug: You're passing wrong path to the configure option.
(hint: Remove /lib from the paths passed to the options)
