New Install: Fail: GD 2.0 or newer

[jvansanten]

New to PW and intrigued.

Installing on a newly formatted Fedora box in the hopes of getting up-to-date apps out of the box.

As PW checked the system, it found the above issue.

From the command line, I ran yum install php-gd.

System responded php-dg-5.5.14-1.fc20.i686 already installed and latest version. Nothing to do.

Not sure precisely how to decipher the version number, but it looks like 5.5.14. Do I need to downgrade? Or?

Many thanks...

(Tried checking the fora, but didn't come up with a similar thread. Search doesn't like GD -- too short...)

The given version number can't be from gd, as the latest libgd version is 2.1.0 (http://libgd.bitbucket.org/). Look at your phpinfo() page, there should be a point "gd" where the version is stated like this "GD Version: bundled (2.1.0 compatible)". If it's below 2.0 you need to update.

I believe you would need "yum update" to update all packages on your server.  If I remember correctly, "yum install" is for installing a new package.

yum install gd gd-devel php-gd did the trick.

Thanks for your help...
