Hi. Ok, i installed the latest GD rpm that i found in rpmfind.net. Now i want to recompaile my php and i got an error saying that i do not have support to gif.(Da . . .) Any idea how to disable the gif support or something in php? Mike
Re: php and gif
if you want to compile it(php) with support to GD you should use flag --with-gd[=DIR] (DIR is GD's install dir). or if you want to compile it without then --without-gd Mike Almogy wrote: Hi.Ok, i installed the latest GD rpm that i found in rpmfind.net.Now i want to recompaile my php and i got an error saying that i do not have support to gif.(Da . . .)Any idea how to disable the gif support or something in php ?Mike

There can be no GIF support in free software products because of patent issues. You can, however, use PNG just fine. There are many (legal, free) convertors GIF-PNG (this is not covered by the patent). All current browsers support PNG just fine.

Old versions used to support GIF, but due to patents on the GIF compression, new versions Officially, correct. But nobody, including the law(*), can stop you from taking the GIF modules from GD-1.5, and adding them to the latest version of GD (you will need to apply a minor patch to the Makefile). (*) The patent covers only 7 countries in the world, so in most of the countries, including Israel, you don't have any problem to use the patent freely. Even in these 7 countries, you are permitted to use the patent, as long as you meet the terms of Unisys. And even if you don't meet them, you are permitted to use the GIF modules of GD, as-is (there is no patent for GIF's generation, only for compressing them using LZW, and LZW is turned off by default in GD). So you have a problem only if you take this code, modify the default compilation flags, go to U.S./Japan/UK/etc., and use it to generate compressed GIF's, and yet insist on not meeting the terms of Unisys. I Am Not A Lawyer (otherwise, I could add more dozens reasons why you shouldn't care). = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any idea how to disable the gif support or something in php ? As I recall, new PHP versions should detect that you have a GD library with PNG support instead of GIF and use PNG instead. If you still have problems with it, you might try to change all references from 'gif' to 'png' in PHP's code. As I remember, it works fine. -- Best regards, Ilya Konstantinov = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
