I get a failure in creating a gif. php error log shows this:

Sep 24 00:25:47 thushw-laptop apache2: PHP Warning:  imagecreatefromgif() [
function.imagecreatefromgif function.imagecreatefromgif ]:
'/home/thushw/mocha_src/LiveMocha/trunk/src/wwwroot/app/webroot/img/new/button-middle.gif'
is not a valid GIF file in
/home/thushw/mocha_src/LiveMocha/trunk/src/wwwroot/app/webroot/button.php on
line 30

the gif can be viewed by gthumb. it seems ok.

the problem is only for some gifs. Most gifs, all pngs, jpegs that i've
tested so far work.

i'm running php5 on ubuntu (uname -a : Linux thushw-laptop 2.6.20.3-ubuntu1
#2 SMP Sun Apr 15 11:26:58 PDT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux)

phpinfo shows:

gd
GD Support      enabled
GD Version      2.0 or higher
FreeType Support        enabled
FreeType Linkage        with freetype
FreeType Version        2.2.1
T1Lib Support   enabled
GIF Read Support        enabled
GIF Create Support      enabled
JPG Support     enabled
PNG Support     enabled
WBMP Support    enabled

from what i've read so far, seems like i need gd lib >=2.0.28. from phpinfo
output it is not clear if i have the right version. i use: apt-get install
php5-gd to install gd

these are the files i think are of importance:

/usr/lib/libgd.so.2.0.34
/usr/lib/libgd.so.2

[the second is a symlink to the first]

>> ls -l /usr/lib/libgd.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2007-09-24 00:25 /usr/lib/libgd.so.2 ->
libgd.so.2.0.34

how do i debug this further?  any help greatly appreciated. this problem
doesn't appear with the gd we have installed on our centos servers. seems to
happen only on my ubuntu install.
