Christian,

I know about this "WARNING: ModLogAn is running as user 'root'." but thanks
for reminding me. :) I need to take the -r out when I make it a cron job.

I didn't try your suggesting because the ldconfig command Thomas suggested
worked.

Thanks for the reply though, :)

Terre

but where does your modlogan binary expects libgd.so.2?
did you compile modlogan yourself or did you just install a (binary)
package? the (linux?) distributions should take care of proper linking.

try this:

% su -c "strace modlogan -c modlogan.conf 2>&1 | grep libgd" www-data
open("/usr/lib/libgd.so.2", O_RDONLY)   = 5

   this is, what it get. and /usr/lib/libgd.so.2 does exist here.

Christian.
