Has anyone ever gotten GD to work?

[Anon]

I know that someone has, but I've seen a ton of people posting that cant', and they never get any replies.

I've got GD installed and working on PHP 4.2.1 but without JPEG or PNG support, which is no good.

The only issue that I can see is that for some reason the PHP compiler can't find the xpm library. I cannot seem to find a xpm library source that will install under redhat (the one I found requires imake, which I don't have).
I'm not sure if that is why PNG and JPEG support isn't working but I'm at my wits end.
I can get Freetype to install fine, but PNG and JPEG don't show on the 'phpinfo();' no matter what I do.

ISn't there anyone out there that can help?

I have spent hours on this and have the same problem.
phpinfo() claims that GD1.2 is installed with Freetype support, but no PNG/JPEG/etc support. I can't figure out why it's claiming 1.2 when I built 1.8.4.

Still searching...
