MRCtools are compiled and added to php extension with php-devel package. MRCtools use GD and FFTW3 that need to be compiled from their development libraries while the extension is compiled. If GD and FFTW3 sources were downloaded and compiled directly on your computer, these development files are included. If (as in most cases) GD and FFTW3 are installed from rpm, they are not included. An error message will appear when you attempt to compile mrctools. In this case, you will need separate download and installation of GD-devel and FFTW3-devel. Search http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/ for GD-devel and FFTW3-devel for the rpm distribution needed for your system. More information on the gd library can be found "here":http://www.php.net/manual/en/image.requirements.php. If you find that you can only view images as png instead of jpg, it may be that you do not have gd _jpeg_ support installed.

h3. Check that the mrc.so module exists in your php module directory (e.g., @/usr/lib64/php/modules@ on 64bit CentOS/RHEL/Fedora). If you are unsure where the php module directory is, use http://localhost/info.php to find it under *extension_dir*.

If your linux distro does not have a /etc/php.d/ or /etc/php.d/conf.d/ directory where other .ini files reside, you may need to follow the alternate instructions (in part 2).
50 1 Amber Herold
51 32 Neil Voss
* Confirm the location of "additional .ini files parsed" from the info.php web page (/etc/php.d in this example)
52 31 Neil Voss
and create a file called  "mrc.ini" in this directory.
53 12 Amber Herold
<pre>
54 31 Neil Voss
cd /etc/php.d
55
sudo touch /etc/php.d/mrc.ini
56 33 Neil Voss
sudo chmod 666 mrc.ini
57 34 Neil Voss
echo "; Enable mrc extension module" > mrc.ini
58 1 Amber Herold
echo "extension=mrc.so" >> mrc.ini
59 33 Neil Voss
sudo chmod 444 mrc.ini

cat mrc.ini

82
83
!http://emg.nysbc.org/software/leginon/images/images/phpmrc.png!
84
85
If mrc is not listed, the extension did not get added in the right order.
86
87
h4. Alternative approach if mrc module does not show up in info.php output
88
89
1. find in the info.php web page the location of "additional .ini files parsed" in the first table (such as /etc/php.d/conf.d/*).
90
91
2. Go to the directory and make a copy of any ini file to use as a template for mrc.ini
92 1 Amber Herold
93 4 Amber Herold
<pre>
94
      >cd [additional_ini_directory]
95 1 Amber Herold
      >cp gd.ini mrc.ini
96
</pre>

100 4 Amber Herold
<pre>

      ; comment out next line to disable mrc extension in php
102 1 Amber Herold
      extension=mrc.so
103
</pre>
104 4 Amber Herold

      ;extension=mrc.so
109
