Recompile PHP With GD Support Installing GD For PHP On Linux

Getting GD

 cd  /usr/local/
 wget http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.9.tar.gz
 tar -xvzf gd-2.0.9.tar.gz
 cd gd-2.0.9
 cd ..
 ln -s gd2.0 gd

Adding GD Support to PHP

Use the configure command used last time and add --with-gd=/usr/local/gd

If you already have an older version of gd in /usr/lib and /usr/include, you may wish to use:

./configure --prefix=/usr

To ensure that your new installation overwrites the old.
