Thanks for the suggestions.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get
it to work.  I copied my slimserver directory structure, as well as the
slimserver.conf in /etc.  I also installed perl-gd from the location you
suggested.

I then tried to install 6.3 over the existing installation.  That,
however, results in complaints about existing files.  Evidently, you
can't just install over the old copy.  So I uninstalled using rpm -e at
the command line, and deleted what was left of the slimserver directory.
I then reinstalled 6.3, which seemed to go ok, but when I try to start
the slimserver in /etc/init.d, I am unable to start it.  I get an error
stating that the slimserver account is not available.

I battled with this for a while, and even did another uninstall/install
to no avail.  Same complaint about the account not being available. 
Finally, I uninstalled 6.3 and tried to reinstall 6.2 to get back to my
original configuration.  Thankfully, that worked just fine--the
slimserver came right up with no complaints--and now I'm back
up-and-running.  Of course I still don't have 6.3.  So any hints or
suggestions would be appreciated.
