 [2002-09-10 16:50 UTC] dust at whocares dot de
When using libgd.so.2.0.0 with freetype support enabled (as I did for testing purposes) all of the gd related tests in ./configure will fail. However, no error message is given AND when testing for libiconv, -lgd is on the linker command line. Naturally, this will result in an error message - but actually it tells the user to reinstall iconv whereas the problem here really is gd. Reinstalling libgd-1.8.4 solves the problem.

What exactly failed? What was your configure line?
Did you have two different versions of GD installed the same time?

 [2002-09-11 04:11 UTC] dust at whocares dot de
The configure script stops with the message "Please reinstall the iconv library". And yes, I do have two different versions of GD installed, although there is only one of them active at a given time. 

Other relevant info (configure parameters, config.log, contents of /usr/lib):

Will compile a working PHP 4.2.3 w/o any problems.
 [2002-09-11 04:19 UTC] dust at whocares dot de
What I wanted to point out is that if ./configure fails _all_ the GD tests it imho should
- tell the user to reinstall GD
- disable GD support (e.g. remove -lgd from the  library options)
- never use -lgd for any remaining tests for this will result in wrong error messages, pointing the user in the wrong direction.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot 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 in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.


The configure will now stop and output an error message.
