Problem configuring php with gd on Red Hat 7

I used the following command: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-gd=/usr/local/lib and got the following error: configure: error: Unable to find libgd.(a|so) anywhere under /usr/local/lib libgd.a is most definately in this directory, but the error is implacable! Can anyone give me any leads as to where I might have gone wrong? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
