You may wish to check the PHP manual:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php

If it doesn't find libpng, libjpeg or libxpm it can fail.
You may wish to specify the directory...
--with-jpeg-dir=DIR --with-png-dir=DIR --with-xpm-dir=DIR

Also note that libpng requires the zlib library :) so you may need to
add --with-zlib-dir=DIR

Hope that helps.

Mike
