Thanks, it took me a while to actually realize that the library was not installed.. that’s why it kept crashing! But now, problem is fixed! :)

Hi,
Thank you very much. It’s 2011oct28 and your post just help me =).
Was figuring what went wrong with my WebApp running Turkey Linux LAMP appliance in Virtualbox. Got an error message about GD library.
Googled and read a ‘thread’ of scary ‘recompile’ … late night tales… and thanks for your post that saved me all from those.
I ssh as root into the VirtualBox appliance and did exactly as you said and viola … it just works.
Cheers!

If you are like me, and running PHP 5.2.X on an Ubuntu system that normally ships with PHP 5.3.X, it is difficult to compile your own PHP from altered source so that it uses bundled GD instead of system GD, since libaprutil1-dev and apache2-prefork-dev depend on some non-dev packages that essentially break your ability to compile this unless you first were to uninstall PHP and Apache entirely. You can get around this by installing all the dependencies you need for building minus these two libraries, then downloading the .deb packages for these two libraries, forcing them in with dpkg –force-depends -i [packagename], THEN alter and compile, and then remove all the build dependencies after. This is how I built myself a bundled GD version of php5-gd_5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.10_amd64.deb.

PHP5-Gd INSTALL HELP
In the installation of php5-gd, do not include T1Lib in the GUI option–include only TrueType.
