[SOLVED] php gd wont work

Hi

I'm having problem with my php gd, I've enabled it in my php.ini file and restarted httpd but gd is still not enabled. I've also checked that my extensions dir is correct.
Any ideas why it isn't working?

Thanks
// Lasse

Re: [SOLVED] php gd wont work

You need to install a few more packages for certain extensions to work. Those packages are listed under optional dependencies of the php package. For example, gd depends on:

[foutrelis@failboat ~]$ pacman -Qi php|grep ': gd'
                 libpng: gd
                 libjpeg: gd
                 freetype2: gd

PHP does not spit out any error message about missing library?

Re: [SOLVED] php gd wont work

It was the freetype2 that was missing, installing it solved the issue, thanks.
Sorry for my late reply, I've had it kinda hectic lately.
