title: WHM/CPanel 11.42.1 with PHP 5.2.17 - Installing Freetype with GD
body: <p>We have had to update Apache via EasyApache to 2.2+, and because of this, we could not install PHP 5.2 via EasyApache.</p>
  
  <p>We have installed the standalone version of PHP 5.2.17 (legacy module) and manually enabled the Curl Extension – this all works correctly. Files are located in <code>/home/cpeasyapache/ ~ src ~ extensions</code> (or similar).</p>
  
  <p>However, we cannot configure the <code>freetype/ttf</code> extension that a lot of our websites Captchas use. I really don’t know how best to include this (or -whether GD has to be re-compiled with it).</p>
  
  <p>The version of GD is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gd
  GD Support  enabled
  GD Version  bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
  GIF Read Support    enabled
  GIF Create Support  enabled
  JPG Support     enabled
  PNG Support     enabled
  WBMP Support    enabled
  XPM Support     enabled
  XBM Support     enabled 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In a nutshell, I just need to add FreeType to this list, but the option to 'check a box' in easy-apache is no longer present as we're using a downgraded version of PHP.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
