Bug 110171 – ebuild - net-analyzer/zabbix-frontend - need mod_php compiled with USE="gd"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Olivier Asselin 2005-10-22 12:29:56 UTC]

After installing net-analyzer/zabbix-frontend i notice that the mod_php need the
flag USE="GD" flag in use to properly show graphic but there is no indication in
installation that indicate that mod_php need this flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install apache with mod_php
2. install zabbix_server and zabbix_frontend and configure it properly
3. Connect on your frontend, monitaure a new host (with zabbix_agent installed)
4. go in "view" --> "latest data" --> select your host --> click on any graphic

Actual Results:  
you shoudn't be able to see the graphic, it need the flag "gd" to show them

Expected Results:  
compile mod_php with USE="gd" to activate the graphic

I'm know about this bug. But i'm not understand how know mod_php emerged with
"gd" flag. If you know tell me. I'm fix ebuilds ;)

[Comment 2 Olivier Asselin 2005-10-26 07:46:27 UTC]

When you compile mod_php, you need to use the flag "gd" ( USE="gd" emerge
mod_php ) to be able to display the graphic in zabbix-frontend program

[Comment 3 Peter Gordon (RETIRED) 2005-10-26 09:38:55 UTC]

What if you checked this in the ebuild's src_unpack function? For example
something like the following may work:

src_unpack() {
  if ! built_with_use dev-php/mod_php gd; then
    ewarn "You must build mod_php with gd support (USE="gd") to enable."
    ewarn "the graphics in zabbix_frontend!"
  fi
  unpack ${A};
}

[Comment 4 Olivier Asselin 2005-10-26 10:27:03 UTC]

I'll set up a new installation to try the configuration and tell you if it work
correctly.  It may be done before tomorrow afternoon.


Thank you very much

I can affirm that once I enabled the gd use flag it works flawlessly.
