[php-maint] Bug#418070: php5-gd: Does not load gd module with php get error '...undefined symbol: gdImagePngCtxEx...'.

[Fred]

Package: php5-gd
Version: 5.2.0-8+etch1
Severity: important

I have installed php5-gd from the debian package. When I enable the
extension gd.so, I get the following error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/gd.so - /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/gd.so:
undefined symbol: gdImagePngCtxEx in Unknown on line 0

And therefore it does not load the gd module. However I have managed to
get imagick module to load ok.

Please can you help and advice me on what to do. I have removed and
reinstalled php5-gd and also restarted apache2 server and still no
success.

Many thanks, Fred
