Wow, what in the world is that? /usr/lib/php4/20010901/gd.so should
never be a symlink to the system gd library. They are completely
different beasts. gd.so is the PHP extension which links against the gd
library and provides the access functions.

Is that symlink something you did or have the Debian folks completely
lost their minds now?
