php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

I seem to have a problem installing php-gd

I uncommented the extension=gd.so line in /etc/php/php.ini which using phpinfo() is the correct php.ini file.

There is a gd.so file in the `/usr/lib/php/modules` directory

 # ls -lah /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 104K Jun 11 20:52 /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so

Running "php -m" I get

# php -m
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so' - libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
[PHP Modules]

pcre
PDO
pdo_mysql
Phar
readline
Reflection
session
SimpleXML
SPL
ssh2
standard
tokenizer
xml
xmlreader
xmlwriter
zlib

[Zend Modules]

So obviously the error is somewhere here:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so' - libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

I have no idea how to fix this, any help appreciated

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

Your php-gd package is out of date. It seems to require libvpx.so.1, but arch has now libvpx.so.2. Please perform a full system upgrade and maybe switch to a new mirror.

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

Post the output of

uname -a
file /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so

The output is

# uname -a
Linux lambda 4.0.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 6 18:37:49 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# file /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so

I also performed a system update as progandy suggested. Still get the error

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

I managed to solve it,

I installed libvpx.so.1 from here as an rpm file
and used the instructions here to extract and install
the rpm file manually.

I no longer get the error

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

What does `ldd /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so|grep vpx` output? It should show that gd.so is linked with libvpx.so.2

I managed to solve it,

I installed libvpx.so.1 from here as an rpm file
and used the instructions here to extract and install
the rpm file manually.

I no longer get the error

That's a work-around that shouldn't be necessary; which is why this thread should not be marked 'solved'

# ldd /usr/lib/php/modules/gd.so|grep vpx
libvpx.so.2 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.2 (0x00007f2380d61000)
libvpx.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1 (0x00007f238022a000)

I'll remove the solved mark

Re: php-gd - Unable to load library gd.so - libvpx.so.1

install pax-utils from Community, then run ldd-tree on that file. You should be able to see what is linked to the old version of the lib.
