Thanks for all the info here … it has been very helpful. However no success yet! I fixed the quotes and dashes and began to make progress but get the error “can’t find ./libtool:cammand not found when I type “make” I installed Xcode and then installed x11sdk from downloaded xcode dmg from apple. I feel like I am close and could use your insight if you have a moment

The smart quotes and dashes were a bit of a problem, and I did run into one error “configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.” So I just specified /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11 and all worked great. Thanks alot!

I get to this bit”Now that we got that out of the way, we need to get back into the .sources folder, unpack the PHP source, get into the GD folder, and do some fun stuff:cd ..
tar -xvf php-5.2.6.tar.bz2
cd php-5.2.6/ext/gd

but there’s no such file in the .sources directory. I have only three files:jpeg-6b, jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz, and php5.2.6.tar.bz2
Oh no what’ve I done?

@james, did you check your php.ini, it looks to me that you haven’t configured your php.ini properly.

I fixed it :$, it was my mistake, I replaced the quotes (” but forgot to replace the dash (-), after that, everything went smooth.
Thanks for your help

To tell you the truth, I really do not know. You might want to follow the sources at the bottom of the post and see if in their comments sections someone had same issues and got it working.

Sorry I can’t be of any more help, I’m puzzled myself

Thanks for the instruction. I got sth as
“sh-3.2# php -r ‘phpinfo();’ |grep GD
GD Support => enabled
GD Version => bundled (2.0.34 compatible)”

But when I create a phpinfo.php file under my webserver folder and access it from the web browser, the GD module is not listed in this info page. Could you please help?

Hi, I get the same error as evan:

extension_dir tells in what directory PHP should look for dynamically loadable extensions.

I suppose your “other code” relies on some dynamic extension which is not getting loaded because of this.

What’s failing to run properly? When you find out what it is, there may be a way to load it directly at the path it is found at instead (?)

In the instructions I found - they disabled the extensions_dir so I did it also in my instructions above… All my code works fine

Hi,
thanks for this, it worked like a charm.

My only problem is that commenting out the extension_dir setting in php.ini breaks some other code on my webserver.

Can you explain what this does, or what the extension_dir defaults to when unset ? or offer any advice on how to get gd running without commenting out this line ?

ah, so many questions
thanks,
glenn

There may be an issue with the ” characters as noted by previous commenter - make sure when you copy the command - you REPLACE the ” by deleting them and entering them yourself via keyboard.

Also - make sure you have Developer Tools installed since it contains all needed libraries.

I know - WordPress encodes them… Sorry about that. I’ll try to put them in [CODE] tags and see if that helps.

Hey man - when you post this stuff you need to be careful about the characters that you’re using. I got this to work but only after replacing a number of illegal characters.

Instead of ” use ”

and instead of – use –

The whole paragraph is a command you have to copy/paste and execute, not line by line:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 CFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp” CCFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” CXXFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe” LDFLAGS=”-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bind_at_load” ./configure –enable-shared

Like, no kidding! Nuts… It must be the new chipset + new graphics card, but I haven’t heard anyone else report this, even though Engadget and some others tested some games in Windows. Strangely they did not check the Rating?

I like my desktop: 5.9

It shows a rating of 1 because secretly the Windows OS knows your running it on an apple machine.

Comment on Lazy People can’t wait 14 seconds… by Peconi

I agree. In my case, I will stay in 9400M mode 99% of the time though. Gotta test that 5 hour battery claim today… Will report

TBH, if the person is going to be doing work in a graphics intense application, he should just relog with the new settings from the start. There’s nothing stopping anyone from being in the 9600m mode at all times. The 9400m mode is just a feature.
