gdlib problems

this is the configure string im trying to do: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-track-vars --enable-gd-im gstrttf --with-xml --with-apache="../apache_1.3.19" --with-t1lib=/usr/local/ lib/ --with-ttf=/usr/local/lib/include/freetype/freetype2/ --with-gd=/usr/lo cal/lib/ --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin/ i get this error on configure: checking whether to enable truetype string function in gd... no checking for libjpeg (needed by gd-1.8+)... yes checking for jpeg_read_header in -ljpeg... yes checking for libXpm (needed by gd-1.8+)... no configure: warning: If configure fails try --with-xpm-dir=<DIR> checking whether to include GD support... configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under /usr/local/lib/ First off, why is it saying im not enabling truetype string function in gd? You can see I'm using enable-gd-imgstrttf in my configure line. Also, its saying it can't find libgd in /usr/local/lib/ but its there? any tips in the right direction would be appreciated
