PHP-GD 64bit? also, looking for a consultant / trainer

[Ernie Gillis <egillis%berklee.edu@localhost>]

Hi Everyone,
This is my first time posting here, so go easy on me :)

I have been attempting to build various pkgsrc packages on a Mac OS X  
intel core 2 duo machine. Primarily the packages are to do with  
Apache2, PHP, MySql Server. I have been able to compile all needed  
libraries when I stay in 32bit mode. However, when I attempt to start  
fresh but use 64bit mode, I have a problem loading many libraries.

At first, it fails on building Perl as a requirement for Apache2. If I  
do a hybrid of 32 and 64bit, I can get Perl install at 32 and then  
build everything else at 64bit. The problem I run into is the graphics  
libraries for PHP -- in particular, the PHP-GD library. The PHP-GD  
gives me an error that the there is incorrect architecture on some  
libraries, specifically, "libjpeg.dylib" appears to have an issue.

I would like to know if anyone has had similar problems and / or  
solutions to this? I would ultimately like to take advantage of the  
64bit architecture, but if I can't, then I can't.


Also... to coincide with the above, I would ultimately like to find a  
consultant / trainer to assist me in getting up to speed on the some  
of my unix skills and learn more ins / outs of pkgsrc that would help  
me reach various goals. I am in the New England area and would prefer  
face-to-face hands on consultation / training. Please let me know your  
rates / requirements.

Thanks everyone!
