Hi Chris,

I currently have php 4.3.10 which as you say should have GD bundled with 
it, it appears in the 'configure'bit of phpinfo as with-gd=shared, but then
does not appear lower down in any of the modules installed - so i guess 
php is calling it for inclusion but not installing it, which I can't 
understand because if
its bundled with it should be there? Unless of course its 'bundled' into 
another rpm which you need to get at the same time.
I also have GD installed (so apt-get tells me) but I did this from a tar 
file and this seems to be badly located in /root/gd/.

Problem at moment is I can't find where 'configure' for  php is 
located,  can't seem to find the home directory in all the usual suspects.
