Unfortunately, it's not likely to be that simple. I did the original coding and 
all subsequent use of that interface on a 64-bit Linux box. However, there may 
be some Mac-specific casting required that I'm not aware of. I would love to 
hear more of these mac64 test reports, however. 

Puneet, since you first raised this issue, I have done some patching of the OO 
GD interface. This has all been committed to the git repo as of a couple of 
weeks ago. Please make sure you have this latest version, as I did some minor 
bug fixing while I was in there. 

Thanks,
    Judd
