Trying to update gd

Trying to update gd

[Adolf Belka]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2225 bytes --]

Hi All,

I found that gd was at version 2.0.33 from 2006 and there have been 
several updates all the way up to May this year, some of them to fix 
bugs or security concerns.


So I did a build for version 2.3.1 also taking the opportunity to 
disable-static  libraries.

This built successfully and I also ran the find-dependencies as the 
libraries changed from libgd.so.2.0.0 to libgd.3.0.9  There were no 
dependencies on libgd.so.2 or libgd.2.0.0

As gd is used for the charts I installed the generated iso into a vm on 
my testbed system to confirm they worked.

None of the charts showed any data. Also the log pie charts did not 
work. The error message from httpd/error_log was:-


Can't load 
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/GD/GD.so' 
for module GD: libtiff.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory at

This seems to be saying it can't find libtiff.so.5

Looking through the source tarballs over time I found that version 2.1.0 
was where it started to look for libtiff.

I then installed the libtiff addon in my vm and the charts were all 
working. So the new gd requires the libtiff shared object libraries.

The addon installs a lot more than just the libtiff so libs so it does 
not seem right to build that structurally into the firewall.


The only option I have come up with is to copy the libtiff so's into 
/usr/lib/ after the install stage of gd.

libtiff is built before gd so the files are available in the build. This 
would seem to then provide the required libs without the rest of the 
libtiff files.

Is this a reasonable approach to use or is there a different method I 
should be using.


Regards,

Adolf.

Definitely needs an update!

Can you not pass something like —-disable-tiff to the configure script of gd to avoid it linking against libtiff?

We do not generate any TIFF files here, so it would be safe to disable that functionality.

Thanks very much for the guidance. There was a configure option --without-tiff so I used that. Built successfully and then tested it in my vm testbed. All charts except memory.cgi work. I need to get more data to confirm that the log pie charts work.

With memory.cgi I get an Internal Server Error. The log gives the following:-

Bareword "collectd" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/memory.cgi line 59.
Bareword "localhost" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/memory.cgi line 59.
Bareword "swap" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/memory.cgi line 59.
Execution of /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/memory.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

Looking at line 59 and checking in git this looks to be related to a change done by Stefan Schantl 8 days ago
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=4353c579248b3016740252009b4ed15a4c6f8fe3

I don't want to commit the patch for gd until I have memory.cgi confirmed working and enough firewall data to confirm the pie charts are working but it looks close to completion.

Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

reading this thread, I just stumbled across the part below, so I thought I slip into the conversation. :-)

This is because of bug #12616, which required massive changes to nearly all of the CGIs. Stefan and Michael
worked on this one, and their changes was merged into the "next" branch a few days ago.

Therefore, copying CGIs from "next" onto an already installed IPFire running Core Update 156 is not suitable
for testing, as C156 lacks additional Perl methods introduced by Stefan.

Unless your changes to a CGI hit a part of it that has been modified, you can still generate a patch of your
changes, and apply that on an existing IPFire installation. This would look like:

(on your workstation)

> git diff memory.cgi > memory-cgi-fixes.patch
> scp memory-cgi-fixes.patch [FQDN or IP address of your IPFire]:/tmp/.

(on the IPFire machine)

> cd /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/
> patch < /tmp/memory-cgi-fixes.patch

Good luck, and happy patching. :-)

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Hello,

Could you just try putting that filename in quotes?

That should work.

Yep, that worked. So the updated gd is working on all charts.
I will submit the patch for it.

I spoke to soon. Everything works with the charts in memory, system, network etc but not with the pie charts for ip, port of country under the logs menu section.

I thought it might be a problem with other work going on in next so I re-did the build with master and installed the iso that was created and got the same problem of no pie charts.

The error message from /var/log/httpd/error_log was the same in both situations and is:-


Can't locate object method "png" via package "GD::Image" at /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/logs.cgi/firewalllogip.dat line 400.

Can't locate object method "png" via package "GD::Image" at /srv/web/ipfire/cgi-bin/logs.cgi/firewalllogcountry.dat line 427.

In the build log it can be seen that png was successfully auto detected in the configure (libpng is run before gd). However maybe something has changed in how png images are dealt with. I have not been able to figure this out.

Suggestions/help/guidance/etc willingly accepted. It seems like so close but so far at the moment. I am sure it will turn out to be one of those "duuuuh, why didn't I think of that" situations but at the moment I can't think of it.

Adolf.

>>> Thanks very much for the guidance. There was a configure option --without-tiff so I used that. Built successfully and then tested it in my vm testbed. All charts except memory.cgi work. I need to get more data to confirm that the log pie charts work.

>>> With memory.cgi I get an Internal Server Error. The log gives the following:-

>>> I don't want to commit the patch for gd until I have memory.cgi confirmed working and enough firewall data to confirm the pie charts are working but it looks close to completion.
