Trying to get libpng and libjpeg support ?? You will need to install the developer versions of the libraries, on Fedora the easiest way is to use up2date ie. up2date libjpeg-devel and up2date libpng-devel this will install it then the configure for the makefile of libgd will pick the libraries up and install support for them.
Also dont use the ./configure.pl do make and then make install dont use the make install straight away this then works for me on Fedora Core 3.
My mate Rick Marden sent me some pictures of the snow at his place, all the snow here has gone but clearly parts of the UK are still suffering.
Was snowing heavily last night and the result can be seen below. Now its still snowing here which means that the UK will be in turmoil as a little bit of snow makes it impossible to get around as us Brits are never prepared. I have dug out (no pun intended) an old photo of the snow from about 3 – 4 years ago so we can see if we are getting more snow or less.

The other day I caught my cat Scruffy watching TV with his mates and they were so engrossed with the television that I was able to snap a photo of them.
theres mousey, hampster and fishy all sitting with Scruffy.
My old chum finally made it down to the Farrow residence to visit, first time in nearly 6 years of being here in our current property.
He immediately got on with Scruffy and both posed for a photo, although as you can see, Chris was a little distracted, he was busy hacking one of the neighbour’s wireless networks with his Psion 5 (has he still got that thing – time warp or what !!).

Thought it was time for another photo to brighten up the blog, so saw this critter in my garden and snapped him.
Looking at my hosting site I noticed there is quite a lot of traffic looking for how to reset the open source project webalizer so here is what I do to reset it.
Basically under Fedora the webalizer package is installed in /var/lib/webalizer, and in there (if you have run it already) will be two files webalizer.current and webalizer.hist you will need to delete both of them for it to reset itself.
The webalizer.current documents the last known position so it doesnt go back over the same stats when it runs and the webalizer.hist file actually holds the statistics.
Okay fresh install of PHP and got this error …
Error registering XML parser services.
Then realised that the howto is slightly out of date as you need to install the 1.4 java runtime not the 1.3 as the how to says.
Also I then couldnt figure out how to get eclipse to pick up the php plugin as the documentation here is a little bit sketchy but you need to unzip the php plugin under the top level eclipse directory then if you have already started eclipse you need to start it with the -clean option then it will pick up the new plugins and you should then be able to create a new project of type php.
It also took me a little while how to figure out how to get ptty, cvs and eclipse to work and thanks go to this guys site for helping

My little Scruffy went and had his yearly flu jab yesterday. Hes feeling a little sad today though, I guess its taking its toll on him as it is like having cat flu but not in a large dose. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.
