I downloaded php's recommended GD2 library from
http://www.boutell.com/gd/. After installing it, I did a

find / -name "gd"

and found /usr/lib/libgd.so.2.

After creating a gd.ini in /etc/php.d with extension=libgd.so.2, I put a
copy of libgd.so.2 in the appropriate dir, /usr/lib/php4.

httpd has been restarted, but I do not see "gd" listed other than in the
configuration listings. Is this normal?
