I recently upgraded to the latest php 4.2.11-r1 php ebuild and it broke my png support. Since i am working on a site that relies heavily on PNG images this is a problem. Whenever i go to access a php script that generates a png image I get the error "document contains no data" If i just change all the pngs to jpegs, it works.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas how ti might be fixed?
thanks,
michael

I believe this is because you do not have PNG in your USE variable.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/use-howto.xml

Try adding php and emerge -p php to see if any dependencies are added. You should see a bunch of libraries needed to generate pngs. Then emerge php to update.


Hope this helps. :)

actually i had added png to my make.default before the emerge of php.
I even checked the ebuild script and found --with-png-dir=/usr. Since the libpng files are actually in /usr/lib and --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib so i thought this might be the problem. I editing the script to --with-png-dir=/usr/lib, but that didn't make any difference. I have also done emerge libpng.
Any more ideas? Im stumped :?

There's been a lot of posts about libpng problems -- some have been fixed by simply remerging libpng. Others have had success with unmerging their existing libpng and then remerging the new version.

You might try running the following:

Code:
emerge -ep --onlydeps php


and make sure that php is installing libpng as a dependency. Then, remerge that specific version that php expects.

What is make.default? I hope you mean /etc/make.conf. I only know of make.conf and make.globals for setting USE vars.

/usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/make.defaults (default-1.0 might be different from system to system.)

You shouldn't edit make.defaults, however -- you should use make.conf instead. make.defaults gets overwritten every time you emerge rsync.
