[SOLVED] GD lib issue on Fedora/linux

[mcjoe]

Hi,
I am installing CMS MS and I got stuck on the "GD library are mandatory for some modules and functionality." warning.
I read through the solved issues in this forum, but either they don't apply for my Fedora 8 installation or they tell to get the gd library and install them, which is way too complicated (it involves command which are far from 'made simple').

I also downloaded xxampp, but I am hesitating to do this.

Are there any files, dir I can check or correct first? This is my system :

Redhat Linux Fedora 8
Kernel and CPU Linux 2.6.26.3-14.fc8 on i686
Apache/2.2.9 (Fedora)  and PHP 5.2.6 are running on it

Please, make it simple 
Jo.

Well installing GD has really nothing to do with CMSms other than CMSms uses it as well many other php software does. You need to install that in Fedora.

I would start in command line as root typing "yum install php-gd". If you don't have yum on that machine you could try to download it and install some other way. it seems to be found here http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/searc ... ery=php-gd so it's on fedora repo.

If this does not help you should really ask someone on fedora forum how to do that.

Many thanks to you KO : The yum command work just fine and installed the GD Lib in three second. I needed to reboot the server, but then, the GD got the green check icon and not longer the red cross.
