Gd and FreeType

[provender]

I just moved to a new server and I'm trying to figure out how to get FreeType to work on the new machine. The previous machine was PHP 5.1.6 with GD version 2.0.28. It has FreeType Version 2.2.1 listed and enabled if I do phpinfo(). The new server is PHP 5.2.4 with GD version 2.0.34 and has no mention of FreeType. Does this have to be installed separately? I read on another post where it was now a part of the GD library for this version. I'm having trouble finding any clear info on the Web regarding what needs to be done. I noticed that there is a newer version of GD, but the customapache has it commented out in the build script. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

BTW... I have tried to follow this example:

It seems to go through the GD installation OK, but then it stops at:

checking for Apacher 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... configure: error: You have enable Apache 1.3 support while your server is Apache 2. Please use the appropriate switch --with-apxs2

I didn't do anything related to Apache (as far as I know), I just updated the build and configure scripts in the areas related to GD as mentioned in the example.

Once again, I figured it out before anyone could be of assistance. If you are having an issue, take a look at this thread:

and make sure that you are doing the ./build php_ap2 if you have apache 2 and not ./build php

Also, you need to make the config changes to configure.php_ap2
