- compile PHP 4.3.0 on Linux 7.3 with GD-Lib 2.7 installed via APXS against Apache 1.3.27 with the GD-option set, not specifying any directory
-> installs the GD-Lib bundled with PHP 4.3.0
-> JPGraph doesn't give any output anymore (plainly won't start up at all, so no error messsage is generated)

workaround:
- compile PHP 4.3.0 on Linux 7.3 with GD-Lib 2.7 installed via APXS against Apache 1.3.27 with the GD-option set, specifying the GD-Lib 2.7 directory
-> PHP 4.3.0 refers to GD-Lib 2.7
-> JPGraph works as usual

Note: I use the GD 2.7 with the GIF-patch, but I don't think this would make any difference, since JPGraph won't start up at all with the bundled GD-Lib, and it is set to use png anyway.

I'm a little but surprised (I'm the developer of JpGraph) since I'm using 4.3.0 myself with no apperant problem (apart from a bug in imagettfbbox in GD > 2.01 whcih causes text at an angle > 0 to be a few pixels off)

I used both SuSE 8.0, 8.1 as well as Debian with the bundled GD in 4.3.0 with no problem.

This sounds more like Red Hat have some problem in their specific setup. I don't have any guesses to what it could be though.

If you don't get any errors back this basically must mean that the PHP process have crashed.

Not enough information and most likely user error / broken system.

Actually I had this problem on Suse Linux 7.3, not RedHat. No, system is not broken and is running very well as production system with the gif-patched GD. However I will check this on a freshly installed Suse Linux 8.0 in the near future again. I assume it's the gif-patch with GD 2.7 that may cause trouble with the bundled GD in PHP 4.3.0...

Anyway 4.3.0 is great :)
