I'm using the following: Mac OS X 10.2.3, Apache 1.3.26, PHP 4.1.2, PostNuke 0.722. I tried to install the Photoshare module, but I get an error when I try to initialize it:

"Your server does unfortunately not have the image library "GD" installed, so Photoshare cannot be installed. Please contact your web administrator in order to get GD installed."

I installed the GD library v2.0.12 by ./configure and make install. It appeared that everything went OK (I skipped the PNG install since I didn't have the files at the time...is this OK? JPEG installed OK). I get the same error that GD is not installed when I try to initialize the module photoshare. Same thing after trying 'apachectl graceful'.

Any obvious idea where I'm missing the mark?

Thanks in advance.

My best guess is that you haven't enabled GD in the php.ini file.

It appears that PHP does not come from Apple with GD enabled at compile time. I downloaded the PHP 4.3.0 binary distribution (which has GD support enabled) from:

http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/

The instructions on the above site consisted of the following:

%curl -O http://www2.entropy.ch/download/libphp4.so.gz
%gunzip libphp4.so.gz
%sudo apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.so
%sudo apachectl graceful

I initialized/activated the module from within PostNuke Administration > Modules.

Since I am new to PostNuke, it took me a while to figure out how to add Photoshare to my link menu on the left side of the screen. I finally figured out that I have to edit the PostNuke Administration > Blocks > Main Menu to add the Photoshare link.

It's up and running. Looks good so far. Thanks.
