I am trying to compile PHP with GD and TTF support with a custom version of the GD-1.8.4 library compiled with Freetype 1.3 on a RH 7.2 system which came with both freetype 1.3 and freetype 2.0 rpms preinstalled by default. I removed the gd-devel rpm which came preinstalled on the system in order to use my own custom GD which is installed under /usr/local/lib.

I configure PHP with  '--with-ttf=/usr --with-gd=/usr/local --enable-gd-native-ttf' and PHP configure detects the right GD, but it doesn't detect freetype 1.3.

Looking in ext/config.m4, I find that the script looks for freetype1 headers in
  /usr/include/freetype.h
  /usr/include/freetype/freetype.h
  /usr/local/include/freetype.h
  /usr/local/include/freetype/freetype.h
  $TTF_DIR/include/freetype.h
  $TTF_DIR/include/freetype/freetype.h

But RH7.2 comes with the freetype1 headers installed in 
  /usr/include/freetype1/freetype/freetype.h

A workaround is to create a logical link from /usr/include/freetype -> /usr/include/freetype1/freetype ... and that works... with that logical link my PHP builds with TTF support...

... but I think a better fix would be to modify ext/gd/config.m4 to look for freetype1 headers under $TTF_DIR/include/freetype1/freetype/freetype.h as well.

Can you please try the latest cvs snapshot from snaps.php.net and report back if it works for you now?

I tried with php4-200206181200 from snaps.php.net and the problem is still present.

The following change to ext/gd/config.m4 fixes it (after re-running autoconf of course):

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
