Yeah, I've been there, too. You know that the gd-1.8.4 you've chosen to use for your PHP versions is nothing but an inofficial and dirty hack? Usually gd does no longer support the creation of GIF images since gd-1.3.6 due to the copyright and license issues revolving around the company Unisys and their patent on the GIF image format. Therefore Mr. Boutell dropped GIF support from gd-lib and switched it to support PNGs instead. At one point or another some gentlemen took gd-1.8.3 and reverse engineered it in a fashion that it supports both GIF and PNG and released it as gd-1.8.4. Which is not an official release of gd authorized by Mr. Boutell. In my own PHP-PKGs for the RaQ3 and RaQ4 I use the gd-2.0.1 RPMs for the PLD Linux Distribution and they work like a charm on the RaQs: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gd&submit=Search+...&system=pld&arch=i386 That one has no GIF support - of course, but it doesn't really matter. If someone attempts to create a GIF from inside PHP then a PNG is created instead. However, if you choose that path, then you most likely have to repackage your Webalizer package, too. -- Mit freundlichen Gr��en / With best regards Michael Stauber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix/Linux Support Engineer _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
