• Problem getting php to recognize curl
  2006-04-11 01:07:20  billc108 [Reply | View]
  
  
  Hi all
  
  I've had pretty good success compiling php (4.4.2 on 10.3.9 most recently), but I'm having trouble getting curl to load properly. I've installed all the dependencies and have --with-cURL=/usr in the configure statement, and it still comes up with
  
  checking for CURL support... no
  
  any suggestions on what to look for? I'm running out of ideas.
  

• Great resource!

  I really appreciate all these o'Reilly resources. Our small office web/email server is still running 10.2.8 client, and I've been wanting to update PHP from 4.3.10 to 4.3.11 since Apple seems to have stopped releasing security updates for 10.2.8. I followed the instruction from this article, and using the phpinfo() from my 10.3.9 machine as a guide, I was able to build and install 4.3.11 on my 10.2.8 without a hitch (at least everything seems to be working so far).
  
  Thanks for this wonderful resource.
  
  

• PHP 4.3.10 on OS X 10.2.8
  2005-02-01 11:59:50  rmwiseman [Reply | View]
  
  
  I had PHP successfully built and then Apple's software update came in and destroyed my build, replacing it with another one with different options (and, importantly, curl disabled). I downloaded PHP 4.3.10 and used the configuration here, with --with-curl=/opt/src/curl-7.10.5 appended.
  
  However, this and any other configuration I've tried result in nasty errors when I do a make. It says about things like:
  

  
  
  /Users/richard/Desktop/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_strtod.c:239: parse error before "uint32_t"
  
  /Users/richard/Desktop/php-4.3.10/Zend/zend_strtod.c:239: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union

  I have been trying to get my MOXAMP configuration to work on my PowerBook (OS 10.2.8). I updated MySQL but then the handshake with PHP 4.1.3 didn't work, so I'm trying to update to PHP 4.3.10, using the instructions included here.
  
  I got it to go through the configure process, and it got to the end ("Thank you for using PHP!") but I get lots of messages from Terminal indicating missing UNIX commands, like 'grep', 'egrep' (message: Command not found). I tried to read the debug.log file, but my Terminal doesn't even recognize 'pico'!
  
  I installed the Developer Tools for 10.2; are there other things I need to do to Terminal to get it to recognize these commands?

  I have followed all the steps... and those in

  Downloaded all the Fink stuff (great!)

  "make install" without the old php 4.1.2 backup (sorry)
  
  Restart the Apache and...
  
  When I go to info.php, the 4.3.4 is running but it does not recognize all the configure commands (only '--with-apxs')
  
  Its a strange situation, cause I'm running mysql and some php/mysql sites (PostNuke) work all right but some recent scripts stop to work...
  
  What can be happened?
  
  Does the "make install" create the php.ini (and place it at the appropiate dir) the or I must do something (re-place it) manually?
  
  I have placed the "php.ini-recommended" in usr/local/lib and renamed it php.ini

  You should do a: "make clean" before you reconfigure anything if you want phpinfo() to display the correct configuration options.
  
  After the configure, you must do a "make," "sudo make install," and "sudo apachectl restart." The configure command only tells PHP how it should be configured when you build it using make, it doesn't make the changes itself.
  
  You don't need to copy or edit php.ini.

  The "use of undefined constant" lines usually appear when you reference an array element inside double quotes.
  
  The Apache config lines are there to allow users to customize their personal home directories configuration without giving them access to the main httpd.conf file, which is owned by root. It's a feature, not a bug. I think you can disable this by editing out a few lines at the bottom of the master httpd.conf file, if it really bothers you.

• adding directives in the future
  2004-01-27 07:40:42  nicki [Reply | View]
  
  
  This is a newbie question- I have everything working but just want php to look at curl. Does this mean I have to go through this entire process to add that. I mean, everytime I want php to see a new thing, I have to start from scratch like this? I was hoping there was a way to just run the configure command alone or add a line to php.in like you can do for windows. Although maybe the mac doesn't come with the build, just everything already working.
  Thanks,
  Nicki

  If you've already built PHP on Mac OS X (instead of using Apple's built-in version) and didn't configure it to include cURL, you need to rebuild PHP. However, it shouldn't be too bad, there's a file named "config.cache" that saves your old configuration. I'd do:
  
  % ./config.nice --enable-curl
  % make
  % sudo make install
  
  And that should be everything you need. If you run into weird compile errors, do:
  
  % make clean
  
  And repeat the whole process. That'll clear out the old junk lying around from before.
  
  Also, if you want to use the curl installed using fink instead of Apple's, do:
  
  % ./config.nice --with-curl=/sw
  
  If you've never built PHP before, you do need to go through the entire process. There's no special trick to just add in one module, like cURL.

• MySQL import and/or compiling problems
  2003-12-16 11:30:49  dmcole [Reply | View]
  
  
  Hiya. UNIX neophyte, so please be gentle.
  
  Downloaded and successfully implemented Entropy.ch PHP package.
  
  Get to the part where I want to import a file into a table in MySQL. Get the error message "The Used command is not allowed with this MySQL version."
  
  Look that up on the MySQL site and its suggested there (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA_LOCAL.html) that if the version of PHP is compiled with the "--with-mysql=/usr" command rather than the traditional "--with-mysql" command, all will be well.
  
  I post a note on the Entropy board asking about this and whether Marc could/would make a new package that supported this command. The note is now two days old and no response.
  
  I go to the php.net site and get the source code for 4.3.4 and have been trying to compile it with all the same functions as the Entropy version.
  
  I've had to Fink a bunch of stuff over, but now I've hit a problem that I can't seem to solve. From this compilation command (http://www.colegroup.com/php-configure.html), I get the error message "FreeType2 not found!" Of course, it's there (Fink tells me so).
  
  So, here are my two questions:
  
  *Am I headed in the right direction to fix the MySQL problem?
  
  *In what order should the FreeType and FreeType2 with commands be set to get this to compile?
  
  Thanks.

  I had the same problem. This can be solved by not using the Fink package but download and compile FreeType2 by yourself. Then you need to configure with option:
  
  'with-freetype-dir=/usr/local'

  2004-01-29 18:59:07  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  If you want to use fink, you need to do:
  
  --with-freetype-dir=/sw/lib/freetype2
  
  Alternatively, if you installed Apple's X11 system, try:
  
  --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6

  I overwrote my Apple's version of PHP with my custom built one. You can back up the old versions first if you're worried about problems.

  I'm not 100% positive what you want to happen, so I'll give you two answers and hope one of them hits its mark.
  
  If you want files ending in .php3 to be parsed by PHP 4.1.2 (and therefore treated as PHP 4 files), you should change the top two lines to this new one line:
  
  AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
  
  And then restart Apache by entering "sudo apachectl restart" in Terminal.
  
  Right now, Apache is trying to run these files under PHP 3, which isn't installed.
  
  This is what I think you want. There is also a smaller chance that you actually want PHP 3 to execute these files. It seems unlikely because PHP 3 is very old and obsolete. If that's so, however, you're out of luck. You cannot run PHP 3 on your Macintosh. You should consider porting the files to PHP 4. See http://us4.php.net/manual/en/migration4.php for more details.

• Great article...but my old build is still serving pages
  2003-05-20 05:16:20  anonymous2 [Reply | View]
  
  
  I really appreciate this article, and I've used it several times in the past to get PHP builds running on my machine. I've just built it again, however, to get the PDFlib working, and I've found that phpinfo() shows my old build date with my old configure command.
  
  I'm running OS 10.2.6 (maybe that's part of it?). My /usr/libexec/httpd/libphp4.so file *is* the new build--the date on the file is today. There aren't any errors that I can see in my Apache error log. (There is a line that reads "Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)" but that doesn't seem like an error, does it?)
  
  The httpd.conf file is normal; php is on. It's serving pages, all right...but as I say it's the old build, not the new one. I haven't tried rebooting yet, but I don't recall having to reboot in the past when I've built PHP.
  
  As an extra data point, I don't have the command line version of PHP at /usr/bin/php, for whatever reason.

  I have never tried building the PDFLib on Mac OS. Are you getting compile errors or what? Maybe I can help debug or try it on my machine and see what happens. (I'm up to 10.2.6 myself, so we should be in sync.)

  Thanks for looking into it. I actually *did* get PDFlib working--I needed to install the PDF, TIFF, JPG, and PDF shared libraries through Fink. Of course, I immediately ran into a brick wall with configuring the pdflib.upr file to find my fonts. There's actually very, very little info out there about getting pdflib.upr to function on OS X. Any suggestions you might have on that would be helpful, but I suspect that we're way, way off-topic now.

  I just checked out the Zend.com site. They have a version of Zend Optimizer (2.0.3) for Mac OS X that works with PHP 4.1, but they haven't yet released a version (2.1) that works with PHP 4.3. Zend Optimizer 2.1 is already available for Linux, Windows, and Solaris, so I have no idea why the Mac OS X version is lagging along.
  
  Unfortunately, since the Zend Optimizer is closed source software, I can't produce an updated version fo Mac OS X and I'm 99.94% positive none of the other versions will work on a Mac.
  
  I'm sorry to say, but I think the best way to find out when this is coming is to contact Zend directly. (http://www.zend.com/store/contact.php) Hopefully they can provide an answer.

  Hi Jens!
  
  I don't have a folder named "PHP4" in my Library, so I think you can probably delete this. The new version of PHP, 4.3.0, should be located in two places. The Apache module version is (most likely) in /usr/libexec/httpd/libphp4.so, while the command line version is at /usr/bin/php.
  
  Whether you need to run "make" or "sudo make" depends upon the permission settings of your files and what username you're using when you run this command. For my setup, "make" is enough; for others, I guess, you need to use "sudo." Nice catch!
  
  Thanks.

  Open the Apache Configuration file (/etc/httpd/httpd.conf) in your favourite Text Editor (In these examples I have used Pico)
  % sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
  
  Now add these lines to the very bottom of the file:

  AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
  
  Now save and quit by pressing Control-O, Overwrite the old file (hit Enter) and then press Control-X to exit Pico.
  
  Restart Apache:

  2003-02-28 21:06:42  tychay [Reply | View]
  
  
  Adam is not quite right when he says "without zlib, MySQL and other programs won't run", without zlib, PHP 4.3 MySQL can't take advantage of compression (a feature that is very rarely used and turned off by default in phpMyAdmin).
  
  Also, the correct line to enable it for MySQL "and other programs" is
  --with-zlib-dir=/usr
  
  I'm not too sure why it can't find zlib. zlib comes by default with Mac OS X and developer tools should install the proper headers:
  
  bash-2.05a$ locate libz
  ...some other stuff...
  /usr/lib/libz.1.1.3.dylib
  /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
  /usr/lib/libz.dylib
  
  Why not try '--with-zlib=/usr' which should be redundant unless you've f-d up your library and include paths.
  
  If a header file is missing, then check to see of /usr/include/zlib.h is on your system. If not, install Developer Tools.
  
  Installing gd-bin from fink doesn't do squat because it's not the library or the headers. Besides, you should be using gd2, not gd. Try installing "gd2", "gd2-bin", and "gd2-shlibs" (why there is no "gd-devel" I don't know). Better yet, build just the libpng3*, libjpeg*, freetype2* packages and then use the version of gd2 that came with PHP 4.3 (it has better support for alpha channels as well as can load GIFs).
  
  As for why compile it yourself. I see five reasons
  1) Mark installed something that you don't need. Because lack of dynamic loading of extensions in Mac OS X, your binary is bigger than it needs to be.
  2) Mark didn't install something you need (for the especially masochistic, try building php-gtk).
  3) Mark doesn't have the latest version or there is a patch in CVS for a bug.
  4) You want to use the PHP command line interface or need PEAR.
  5) You want to install PHP 5
  In the future there will be"
  6) You want to compile PHP5 with dynamic loading of extensions.
  
  If those aren't an issue, use a precompiled binary froma trusted source. That's the mac way, anyway.

  There is no "complete" list since you can unpack any PHP extension into the ext/* directory and do a ./buildconf before the ./configure. (Note ./buildconf nowadays might require a later version of autoconf, automake or libtool than Apple provides), but that is a start.
  
  Usually, if there is something missing from the ./configure --help that is documented elsewhere, that feature was removed. (This is not always the case though).

  Since 10.2 was released, I have been able to use the built-in OpenLDAP libraries when I have built PHP 4.2x with just a --with-ldap flag.
  
  I am trying to build 4.3 for the first time with the following config line:

  The problem is not with the main of php but with ext/ldap/config.m4. The line should be changed from

  Also, I'll do you one better. ;-) You probably want to change
  liblber.so to liblber.$SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME since the test you pointed to occurs if it can't find the former.
  
  I posted the patch at
  http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22485
  Please vote for it :-)
  
  BTW, Mac OS X Jaguar has a version of LDAP (used to replace the old NetInfo manager). So you don't really need fink for this...
  if you apply the patch above, you can then do
  ./buildconf
  ./configure --with-ldap=/usr

  checking for ZLIB support... yes
  checking if the location of ZLIB install directory is defined... yes
  checking for gzgets in -lz... yes
  
  or is it failing in some other extension? A lot of extensions (domxml, mysql, pdflib, cpdf, etc.) expect zlib. To help it along....

  2003-01-24 14:54:08  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  Okay, you seem to have a pair of problems.
  
  First, --prefix=/usr and so forth aren't commands to be executed directly. That's why you're getting the error. Instead, these are configuration directions (parameters) for the configuration program.
  
  So, the line from the article you need to mimic is:
  
  [benlev:~/php-4.3.0] adam% ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
  --localstatedir=/var --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-apxs --with-zlib
  
  As you see, we prefix those params with "./configure", cause we're calling the configure program.
  
  Second, there's the issue of not being able to use LDAP and libXML. This is so new, it's hard for me to guess your exact problem. I do know "gd.h" is not a file for either of these extensions, but for the GD extension -- you should only see this if you pass in --with-gd. Try reading the earlier postings on this board and see if that helps solve the GD problem and you can get everything to work.

• CURL version stops installl
  2003-01-23 09:19:31  anonymous2 [Reply | View]
  
  
  When entering the configure line I get the error:
  
  checking for CURL support... yes
  checking for CURL in default path... found in /usr
  checking for cURL 7.9.8 or greater... configure: error: cURL version 7.9.8 or later is required to compile php with cURL support
  
  I have installed a newer version of CURL using Fink, my path is loading Fink commands properly:
  
  [MyWorkstation:~] mc% echo $PATH
  /sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin
  [MyWorkstation:~] mc% curl --version
  curl 7.10 (powerpc-apple-darwin6.3) libcurl/7.10 ipv6 zlib/1.1.3
  
  So Curl is greater than version 7.9.8.
  
  I have added the following option to the ./configure command:
  
  --with-curl=/sw
  
  any help here?
  
  
• CURL version stops installl
  2003-01-24 14:45:49  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  Yes. First, the decision to use --with-curl=/sw is the correct one. Since fink doesn't delete files, the (old) Apple installed curl in /usr/bin still lives on your machine and the PHP configuration program is picking it up instead of the (new) fink version. (The configuration process and $PATH are independent of each other.)
  
  So, you need to manually add the /sw directory to point PHP and cURL 7.10. Once I did that, I got an error that essentially boiled down to "can't locate file for: -ldl" I did some poking around and the short answer is: I didn't have a necessary library installed.
  
  Using fink to install "dlcompat-dev" fixed the problem. (I already had dlcompat and dlcompat-shlibs installed.) Once I did that, PHP compiled with cURL just fine. (Well, it did give a warning about /lib not being found, but that's harmless.)
  
  Let me know if this fixes your problem or if you're still stuck.

• CURL version stops install
  2003-02-28 19:29:40  tychay [Reply | View]
  
  
  You could try installing over Apple's curl binaries (this is what I do). I gave instructions in a post below.
  
  The line:
  checking for CURL in default path... found in /usr
  occurs when the ./configure has "--with-curl" or "--with-curl=shared" (latter is unsported on Mac OS X). instead of "--with-curl=/sw". Thus, that line should not be output if youy have "--with-curl=/sw".
  
  Note:
  --prefix=/usr
  is only for targeting the make install. It shouldn't affect the configure
  
  The version of curl I install against is 7.10.3 from fink. I am using "curl-ssl", "curl-ssl-dev", and "curl-ssl-shlibs" packages. You definitely need either the "curl-dev" or "curl-ssl-dev", and the library is in "curl-shlibs" or "curl-ssl-shlibs" so you'll need that too. I don't think the "curl" or "curl-ssl" is needed, but it doesn't hurt to have it also.
  
  Unfortunately, I also smash Apple's installation of curl on my machines with my own, so I can't be 100% sure that PHP isn't accidentally linking against that.
  
  I hope this helps,

  Perhaps you have a 3rd party Apache installed as your webserver, or you had a 3rd party Apache installed somewhere in your path that apxs is finding.
  
  If you have a 3rd party apache installed, try changing the configure to
  --with-apxs=<path to apxs>
  or if it is an Apache 2 compile
  --with-apxs2=<path to apxs2>

• Installation ?
  2003-01-23 08:04:20  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  Hum... Restarting Apache should cause it to load 4.3 and dump 4.2.3. By "info window," I'm guessing you mean the output from phpinfo()?
  
  Can you run "php -v" and make sure it reports 4.3 as the version number? If not, maybe something didn't work correctly for the install. This checks the CLI and not the Apache module, but if the CLI didn't get installed, then this would be an indication of a bigger (non-Apache specific) issue.
  
  Also, try checking the Apache error_log to see if it reported an error message.

• Location of fink packages

  The article mentions:
  
  " if your package manager places its files in a special location, tell PHP where to find them by placing an equal sign and the path after the command name:
  
  --with-gd=/sw
  
  This lets PHP find the GD graphics library in the /sw directory, which is where fink places files."
  
  However isn't the location of files in /sw/bin?
  
  For example, I updated curl to the latest version (as required by PHP 4.3.0) and now CURL is located at /sw/bin/curl. So, shouldn't the configure option be:
  
  --with-curl=/sw/bin

  You'll only find the cURL application in /sw/bin/. (Well, also curl-config.) However, PHP uses other cURL files. They're installed by fink in /sw/lib, /sw/include, and other locations off of the /sw root.
  
  It's possible that PHP will work correctly if you pass in /sw/bin, but I still think you're better off using /sw. (I'd need to update my verion of cURL to test this.) But, if you're used to Linux, it's just like entering /usr/local.

  It should be noted that the default version of curl in Jaguar is 7.7.? but PHP 4.3 "--with-curl" requires curl 7.8.2 (some docs say 7.9) or later so you need to compile curl yourself (not much of a stretch), or use Fink's curl package.
  
  If you compile curl yourself and want to write over Apple's installation, use
  curl --remote-name http://curl.hax.se/download/curl-7.10.3.tar.bz2
  bzip2 -dc curl-7.10.3.tar.bz2 | gnutar --extract
  pushd curl-7.10.3
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-static --enable-shared --with-ssl=/usr --with-zlib=/usr"
  make
  sudo make install
  popd
  rm -rf curl-7.10.3
  
  (i think that will work). BTW, you may want to run Disk Repair ", Repair Disk Permissions after the install (of curl and PHP both!) to change the binaries/libraries/etc to be writeable by group and belong to staff. :-)

  It took me a little while to get fink to install mcrypt -- it wasn't configured to read unstable files. But, after all that, I get the same result as you do.

• What version??
  2003-01-17 21:44:52  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  If you want to configure and compile your own version of PHP, you should download the main one.
  
  The links on the side are for pre-compiled binary editions of PHP -- you cannot configure them. They're for people who cannot compile programs or don't wish to do so. Since prior to PHP 4.3 it was difficult to compile PHP on MacOS X, this was necessary. The big news is that now you don't need to use a pre-compiled binary.
  
  The PHP group just hasn't updated the web site -- probably since most MacOS X users aren't used to compiling their own software, even if most Unix people are.

• Configuring with PHP 4.3's bundled libgd
  2003-01-17 02:46:25  maarky [Reply | View]
  
  
  I understand that PHP 4.3 includes its own bundled libgd. It is recommended to use the bundled library. Would you configure with --enable-gd to use this bundled library since it is after all a bundle or --with-gd?
  
  Of course I could probably get the answer using ./configure --help but I am new to compiling and would feel better getting the answer from a real live human being.
• Configuring with PHP 4.3's bundled libgd
  2003-01-17 08:24:44  Adam Trachtenberg | [Reply | View]
  
  
  From ./configure --help:
  

  
  --with-gd[=DIR] Include GD support where DIR is GD install prefix.
  
  If DIR is not set, the bundled GD library will be used.
  
  

  
  So, it's --with-gd. That said, I don't believe PHP 4.3 works correctly on MacOS X with the bundled GD lib. This change landed very late in the release process and I don't think all the MacOS-specific fixes were made.
  

  
  Try it and let me know. If it works, great! If it doesn't, don't be surprised. I'll continue to fiddle with this and let you know when I get this working.

  You're right. I got PHP to compile with the bundled version of GD.
  
  In addition to --with-gd, I needed to pass --with-png-dir=/sw because my libgd.a was in /sw/lib instead of /usr/lib.

  The issue is that gd requires either libtiff or libpng (I think) to be available somewhere in your ld library path. Since neither is included by default in the Mac OS, the ./configure will fail with a very unhelpful error.

  The default compile of php no longer installs a php.ini file.
  
  There are two included with the php distribution php.ini.dist and php.ini.recommended(?).
  
  The place to put the config file is in /etc/php.ini (if using Apple's directives) or /usr/local/etc/php.ini (if using the default configure, or Mark's compile). The quick way to find out (assuming php4.3+) is
  
  bash-2.05a$ php -r "phpinfo();" | grep Configuration
  Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /etc
  Configuration
  
  If you can't do that (because you are using pre 4.3, for shame!) then try the <?php phpinfo() ?> script another post mentioned.

  I've always upgraded PHP using Mark Liyange's binaries (http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php - he has been away since around mid December and hasn't updated his binaries, but he says he will be back around mid January and that he will update them then. Now that this article is out I may go ahead and update it myself.) In his FAQ he says that no php.ini file is included so if you want one you should create it here:
  
  /usr/local/lib/php.ini
  
  So that's what I did and it worked fine. I don't know if this is the proper location if you follow the instructions in this article.
  
  Another idea is to create a PHP file containing only:
  
  <?php phpinfo() ?>
  
  View this file in your browser. At the top in the first table you will see a cell labled "Configuration File (php.ini) Path". Check the path it gives in the next column over. If your php.ini file is not there then try creating one in that location.

• GD with GIF? Ming?
  2003-01-16 22:26:46  dogzilla [Reply | View]
  
  
  While I understand that the developer of GD removed GIF support for (what to him is) a good reason, there are many of us who still rely on GIFs for much of our work, especially given the lackluster adoption of the PNG standard by most browser developers. I'd be really interested in finding a way to roll GIF support back in to the new GD code in PHP under OSX (I've already found a way to do it under my main FreeBSD servers).
  
  Additionally, I have wanted to build and install the Ming Flash creation library into PHP. I'm aware of the FreeMovie alternative and, while it shows promise, it's not as rich as Ming yet. If anyone has successfully done this, I'd love a HOW-TO.

  PHP has started to bundle GD 2.x with its main distribution. They're also enabling GIF read-only support. I haven't gotten it to work on MacOS X, however, or I'd have included instructions in the article. I'll keep on trying.
  

  
  If you want GIF-write support, then that'll be much harder. (IMHO.) GD 1.2 (or whatever version it is) died long before MacOS X, so hacking that thing up will be a major PITA.

• GD with GIF? Ming?
  2003-02-28 18:35:17  tychay [Reply | View]
  
  
  The problem (I found) with the built in bundled gd library working in MacOS X is related not having access to the libpng (etc) library. For instance, if you have Fink and have NOT installed gd, this works fine...
  
  --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/sw --with-png-dir=/sw --with-freetype-dir=/sw --with-t1lib=/sw
  
  assuming you've installed the libjpeg, libpng, libfreetype and libt1lib.
  
  As for GIF write support, other than patching GD, you can also try using imagemagick extension which is part of the PEAR/PECL library
  curl --remote-name http://pear.php.net/get/imagick-0.9.5.tgz
  unpack and install in your php/ext
  run ./buildconf before ./configure
  
  NOTE: AFAIK, you cannnot follow the regular build instructions for building ImageMagick as a shared extension because PHP4 on Mac OS X does not support dynamic loading of extensions (a real shame). PHP 5 does do this, however. :-)
  
  Also, you need to compile imagemagick, and thus --with-imagick=/sw ;-)

  You will find a number of these <IfModule> ... </IfModule> entries in your config file. Place it after one of the closing </IfModule> statements. Change the path to whatever you want the include path to be. Also, if you have any virtual hosts set up you can add this inside the <VirtualHost *> ... </VirtualHost> statements. Again, change the path to correspond to the Virtual Host's path.
