gd needs a whole whack of supporting libraries

[from my build on Linux Fedora Core 4]

--with-gd=/opt/gd \
--with-freetype-dir=/opt/freetype \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-png-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-gif-dir=/usr/lib

You also need to make sure to load the microsoft truetype fonts.

I'm going to be rebuilding a LAMP system with GD from scratch today (to
fully document the build process for a product) and will post more
details if you are still stuck.
