Installing php with image manipulation support

Hi folks I am trying to install php 5 (mind you I get the same problem with 4.3.2) with GD2 support for image manipulation. I am running Debian 3 with Apache2 and the GD2libs from debian. Whenever we try to call for any image functions, we get a blank page returned. (in some cases the html headers are there, but with <body></body>. Here is my configure statement - can anyone take a look at it and see if I have missed something? I get no errors during install. Thanks in Advanced!! trillian:~/php-5.0.0b1# ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-magic-quotes --enable-libgcc --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib/ --with-bz2 --enable-calendar --enable-dio --with-dom --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-xpm --with-ttf --with-freetype --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-gettext --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib --enable-debug Dan North NorthernStorm.ca
