Re: [support] new installation of Drupal 5 not finding gd

Hi,

I just installed a brand new Drupal 5, on a Debian Sarge box.

The admin script is reporting "The GD library for PHP is missing or outdated" (everything else reports ok).

The thing is, I think I have gd installed properly and as up to date as the current package library provides (apt-get upgrade php4-gd reports that I'm up to date).

So... any thoughts or suggestions?

check phpinfo() if GD is really enabled.

• do I need a later version of gd?

Probably not

• is it perhaps something in the search path (pointers or diagnostic

suggestions much appreciated)

No, something in php.ini

• what doesn't work if I don't have gd properly installed?

Color.module, resizing images...

Cheers, Gerhard
