"NextGen Gallery" No GD support!



Tweet

This one tried to make me crazy...

While setting up the very awesome NextGEN Gallery WorPress plugin.
I ran in to problems with the GD Library. The Gallery Overview page happily reported:

Graphic Library
No GD Support!

Wow. Not very helpful.

I finally found the answer (at least for Red Hat Linux)

Run this command:

root@myhost:/ # yum install gd-devel php-gd

Note: You should, run this as a single command, not as 2 separate install commands.

NOT:
root@myhost:/ # yum install gd-devel
root@myhost:/ # yum install php-gd

Why?
I'm not sure, but it didn't solve the issue until I ran the command correctly...
