Hi, so far found everything on here Brilliant, will do a testimonial in a bit, found most stuff in forums. I've just installed e107 and need GD library for image uploads etc, as far as the library installations on linux go i'm quite a n00b, i have the directory for GD in lib,, when i run ./configure i get "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables", and thats as far as it goes, is GD already there but i need to do something, or am i going the right way but need to do something else? any help appreciated

hey try this ---
when you run ./configure

e.g

./configure --with-gd

i think though, annoyingly, you need to install libjpeg & libpng first because for some insane reason theyre not included.

i dont understand the logic of them bundling gd with php as a 'convinience' when all the libraries needed to make it work still have to be obtained & installed manually!

lol well its been sorted, gd wouldnt install because of a previous problem with the C compiler altho i may still be missing something as im not seeing images whereas i am elsewhere on the same applcation on a different server

Hi,

Glad that GD issues have been sorted out

There are several reasons for images not being displayed, one being incorrect permissions, ownerships or paths the scripts are fetching the data from..etc..
Could you please provide us a sample to check ? Or maybe updating the ticket with appropriate details would be better & safer

Hi,

Some of files and folders under account auroraho were having ownership of root user which has been corrected now.
I would request exact URL or steps to reproduce same error if problem still persists.
