Re: [cobalt-users] Solution for JPEG support / PHP 4 / RAQ3i +

[Toni Soto <planeta@xxxxxx>]

Great Hans!!

You saved me a lot of time trying to find out how to install correctly PHP with
JPEG support. I currently have PHP_4.0.4 installed with GD and PNG support, so I
am able to use graphical native functions in PHP, but I was not able to install
JPEG. I must say that I dind´t spend so much time investigating, but now, with
your help, I will build a JPEG support in my next update.

Thank you a lot and best regards from Spain.
