This is expected behaviour when you have a gd.h file under /usr/include that doesn't match the libgd.a you are linking against.
And no, like with every other configure flag, you have to point PHP at the highest level directory under which it can find both the header file and the library file. There is no header file anywhere under /usr/lib so it makes no sense to use --with-gd=/usr/lib You should probably read through the INSTALL file top to bottom at least once. Here is a quote directly from it (I think I added this over 2 years ago to it): There are a few things that can go wrong during this configure step. The most common is that you have asked for an option and that the configure script can not find the files required to enable this option in PHP. Chances are you can provide the full path to the base directory under which the related files were installed. For example, if you have installed the GD library in /opt/gd which means that /opt/gd/include has your GD header files and /opt/gd/lib contains your GD library files, you would use --with-gd=/opt/gd -Rasmus > Can anyone let me know if this is expected behaviour? > > i've built gd with everything but gif, due to it's fun patent issues. i get > these make errors: > > d.c: In function `zif_imagecreatefromstring': > gd.c:1061: `gdImageCreateFromGifCtx' undeclared (first use in this function) > gd.c:1061: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once > gd.c:1061: for each function it appears in.) > gd.c: In function `zif_imagecreatefromgif': > gd.c:1203: `gdImageCreateFromGif' undeclared (first use in this function) > gd.c:1203: `gdImageCreateFromGifCtx' undeclared (first use in this function) > gd.c: In function `_php_image_convert': > gd.c:3491: `gdImageCreateFromGif' used prior to declaration > gd.c:3491: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast > > is this my bad config, or bad makefile, or ... ? > > on a related note, if i have in my configure options --with-gd it'll locate > /usr/lib/libgd.a however, if i specify --with-gd=/usr/lib it fails > configure.
