My GD2 is not working

I installed GD2 1.0/1.1, but they are both not working, does anyone
knows why? Great Thanks!

With GD 1.0 I got:

RuntimeError
unknown symbol “gdImageSquareToCircle”

This message I’ve seen before. (The GD-1.1 message, I haven’t). I
got it when the GD gem was having trouble locating the GD shared
library (the .so file). It was as if something within Rails was
messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH; I worked around it by doing

require ‘rubygems’
require_gem ‘GD2’

in environment.rb before it invokes Rails::Initializer.run.
(Which still requires libgd.so to exist in a place where
a search along LD_LIBRARY_PATH can find it).

Hi Robert, thanks for your response.
I have tested the GD2-Gem both 1.0 and 1.1 with the following


Testing File: testgd2.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require ‘rubygems’
require_gem ‘gd2’
include GD2

image = Image.import(’./test.png’)
image.resize! 200, 300
image.export(‘new-image.png’)

Result 1 - FAILED with both GD2 1.0 & 1.1:

It seems something wrong with GD2 with new version of Ruby??

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Great thanks.

I don’t think that’s it — I’ve used it successfully with Ruby 1.8.4.
But this sort of problem could arise if Ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.4 were
compiled
with different config flags.

Once again, I’d check for libgd.so on LD_LIBRARY_PATH … but that is
just a guess.
