[solved] GD library

[janvl]

Hello,

I cannot install because I get this message, and the install will not continu:

"GD library are mandatory for some modules and functionality."

This is a Kubuntu 8.04 fresh install with apache2, php 5.2, Mysql  5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.2.
I was able to solve all item but this one puzzles me.

ImageMagic is installed as is libgd2 and several modules belonging to libgd2.

Has someone an idea on how to solve this,

Thanks for any hint

Depend if php is compiled with libgd2.
Check your phpinfo()

Checker PHPinfo

I can find image magic enabled, version 2.01

but I cannot find any GD library, does it mean PHP is not compiled with GD?
And if not how to solve this?

Thanks for the help,

I don't use kubuntu/ubuntu/debian
Check packet name, in repository, for php and gd

Hi,

I already checked the repo's and installed everything that had to do with the GD library,
even the python and perl modules.

But nothing helped so far.

So I will ask in the (K)Ubuntu serverforum too.

Thanks so far.

Thank you! My package was named php5-gd. After install I did have to reboot my Ubuntu server but now it works too. Thanks again.
