Re: Graphics

AFAIK, the latest version of JpGraph does work with gd 1.8.4, and
supporting gd2.0.x beta is considered experimental only.
Using gd2.0 could be reasonable and a simply a good choice, though
it is still beta. (and it works for me)

BTW, check the php-general mail archive for some post from Rasmus,
who showed some changes in the gd distribution to make gd work
with PHP.

Here comes one of these posts:

Build gd-2.0.1 with these two lines in your GD2 Makefile:

CFLAGS=-g -DHAVE_LIBPNG -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBFREETYPE
LIBS=libgd.a -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfreetype -lm

Don't install the lib anywhere, just leave them in the gd-2.0.1 directory.

Then build PHP using:

--with-gd=/home/<your_dir>/gd-2.0.1
--with-freetype-dir=/usr
--enable-gd-native-ttf (note there was a typo in 4.0.6 on this one)
use: --enable-gd-native-tt if you are using 4.0.6
--enable-gd-imgstrttf
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr
--with-png-dir=/usr
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6

This assumes that you have freetype2 installed along with the libjpeg and
libpng libs under /usr
