Compile the PHP GD extension, and GD itself probably, from source. Actually, you could dink around some more with up2date to be sure you have GD itself installed first -- That might be the problem, and would be trivial to fix. There are 3 pieces to this puzzle that you must install and also match up version-wise: GD PHP PHP GD extension -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
