解决 phpbrew gd 的 undefined symbol: php_gd_gdImageJpegCtx in Unknown on line 0

Issues coming one after one, started from the day I upgrade my machine from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04.

Thanks to our ancient symfony 1.4 project, I had to ask phpbrew for php version 5.3.x, and then I got a problem with gd when project rebuild on the step of regenerating avatars.

It said in bloody color:

The image processing library GD is not enabled. See PHP Manual for installation instructions.

WTF?

I checked the extensions of current php:

  $phpbrew ext

Oh well, gd ext not enabled, so

  $phpbrew ext enable gd

However, it complained:
 
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/home/htsg/.phpbrew/php/php-5.3.29/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/gd.so' - /home/htsg/.phpbrew/php/php-5.3.29/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/gd.so: undefined symbol: php_gd_gdImageJpegCtx in Unknown on line 0

===> Enabling extension gd
gd extension is not installed. Suggestions:
$ phpbrew ext install gd

Damn it, how could it suggest to install an extension already installed, sth wrong with it definitely....

Googling time....... with painful tries...ruined my whole lovely friday morning....

When it turned to be hopeless, found a working solution:

$cd
$cd .phpbrew/build/php-5.3.29/ext/gd/
$make clean
$phpbrew ext install gd -- --with-libdir=lib/i386-linux-gnu --with-gd=shared --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr

This time it said install ok as before, but I saw gd in the enabled list when check extensions.

Thanks to this link for saving the rest of my Friday!

Solved the PHPunit not found problem after updated it by composer

PHPUnit now supports installation via composer:

$sudo composer global require "phpunit/phpunit=4.4.*"
$sudo composer global require "phpunit/phpunit-selenium"
$sudo composer global require "phpunit/dbunit"

But before installation, you would have to uninstall them via phear:

$sudo pear uninstall phpunit/PHPUnit_MockObject  \
 phpunit/PHP_CodeCoverage \
 phpunit/DbUnit \
 phpunit/PHPUnit_Selenium \
 phpunit/PHPUnit \
 phpunit/PHP_Timer \

However, symfony phpunit task lost its link to phpunit after above operations.

sh: 1: phpunit: not found

I had to link phpunit to /usr/local/bin, seems a temporary solution:

sudo ln -fs /home/ACCOUNT/.composer/vendor/bin/phpunit /usr/bin/phpunit
