Tijnema, Greg, Robert, Thank you all for your advice.
After the responses here convinced me that the GD libraries should be expected, I've contacted my hosting service to inquire why it's not already installed.
My hosting service allows me to make custom configurations to PHP. Fortunately it turns out it's only a matter of making a check box selection and then clicking a button to install.
Thank you for helping me understand what to expect out of a normal PHP installation.
