Thumbnail creation not working

[nottrobin]

GetSimple was throwing an error when I try to create a thumbnail of an image in 3.0B r415.

Here's the PHP error from the server logs:

Code:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function ImageCreateFromJpeg() in /var/www/nutshelldance.co.uk/admin/inc/image.class.php on line 97
PHP Stack trace:
PHP   1. {main}() /var/www/nutshelldance.co.uk/admin/inc/thumb.php:0
PHP   2. Zubrag_image->GenerateThumbFile() /var/www/nutshelldance.co.uk/admin/inc/thumb.php:128
PHP   3. Zubrag_image->ImageCreateFromType() /var/www/nutshelldance.co.uk/admin/inc/image.class.php:191

Obviously it can't find "ImageCreateFromJpeg".

===============

Found solution:
----

Although my PHP had GD correctly installed, it didn't have jpeg support. This was because my libjpeg library wasn't installed correctly.

I ended up downloading and compiling from source the latest libjpeg from here:
http://www.ijg.org/

And then I had to recompile PHP with the '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib' option

Suggestion for GetSimple
----

When you install GetSimple, check for GD support for all file types and alert the user if support isn't present.

When you install GetSimple, check for GD support for all file types and alert the user if support isn't present.

That is a good suggestion, even that case of unsupported JPG is really a rare case
