   First, this is a server to which you have root access, correct?
You won't be able to install it otherwise, such as if you're on a
shared web host.

   Secondly, what *NIX are you using?  It looks to me like a
BSD-style system maybe MacOS?

Ask me about:
Dedicated servers starting @ $59.99/mo., VPS starting @ $19.99/mo.,
and shared hosting starting @ $2.50/mo.
Unmanaged, managed, and fully-managed!


Yes, it's Mac OSX and I have root access on the machine; I just  
checked my mail, so sorry for the delay

Please forgive my ignorance, and thanks for your help



On windows it's as easy as downloading the dll from pecl4win.php.net.

But from your directory structure i presume you have some sort of *nix system.
So you have to reconfigure and rebuild PHP. Add the following to the  
configure line. And rebuild PHP after that. Make sure GD is installed  
on the system.


--with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir

Ouch... first try installing the php gd module through whatever
package manager your *nix distribution uses. For instance, on Ubuntu
linux you'd do:

sudo aptitude install php5-gd

Making sure GD is installed on the system is a very sensible thing to do.

The ouch was aimed at the suggestion that if you're on a *nix
system, the course of action is to recompile php. Normally these days
you'd just install the gd module (the equivalent of your windows dll)
through your package manager.
