hey try this ---
when you run ./configure

e.g

./configure --with-gd

i think though, annoyingly, you need to install libjpeg & libpng first because for some insane reason theyre not included.

i dont understand the logic of them bundling gd with php as a 'convinience' when all the libraries needed to make it work still have to be obtained & installed manually!
