ERROR: Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettftext()

This article shows how to install True Type Font (TTF) with GD on a CentOS/RH/Fedora Server with Directadmin.

Compile Freetype2 from source.

Code:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache/
wget http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/freetype-2.1.10.tar.gz
tar zxf freetype-2.1.10.tar.gz
cd freetype-2.1.10
./configure
make
make install

My Freetype libs are located in /usr/local/lib, check your system and see where they are.

Edit the build file and search for "doGD"

nano -w build

In the configure line, change --without-freetype to:

Code:

--with-freetype=/usr/local/lib

nano -w configure.php
Edit configure.php file and Add:

Code:

--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \

Make sure to include the trailing \. Note my directory where my Freetype libs are, change yours accordingly if needed.

then do:

Code:

./build clean
./build php

Answer 'y' when asked if you want to compile GD again.

Then restart HTTPD.
service httpd restart

Open up a phpinfo file and you'll see Freetype support listed now.
