Hi,

My current php installation (version 4.3.9) was built with GD:

--with-gd=shared --enable-gd-native-ttf --without-gdbm

but when I try to use any GD functions I get:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagefontheight()

GD is installed on my system (Linux Centos 4.3), as indicated by yum, and by the fact that Webmin uses it.

I have tried loading it as an extension, by including the line
extension=libgd.so
in a file inside /etc/php.d, but it does not find that library. If I link /usr/lib/php4/libgd.so to the actual library file in /usr/lib/libgd.so.2, then it complains that the file is not a php extension library.

I don't know what else to do, or what can be wrong.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

get_loaded_extensions() gives:

[3] => tokenizer

The complete ./configure options for php were:

Is any other data needed?

Well, I ran the message through Google, and it's not an uncommon problem, so it seems. Before I tell you what I found, I should mention that I do not know PHP.

Now then, some solutions seemed to be:
Try these, and if they don't work, keep going through Google. I got 382 hits for your error message.

Just for everybody's reference, the solution, as pointed out at the centos.org forum, was simply to check for packages related to GD, with:

yum list *gd*

Then, I could see there is package called php-gd.i386 that was not installed on my system.

The only thing I had to do was to install that package:

yum install php-gd.i386

and restart Apache.

It worked like magic!

Thanks to all for your help anyways.
