I downloaded the tarball and while was able to compile within PHP with
no problems, I am having memory timeout issues involving image
manipulation with extremely large images (800K - 2mb). Requirements
are to create thumbnails for even these banner-sized images, but PHP +
GD + [huge image] = too much memory.

I'm trying to prove that it is undoable, though the suggestion was to
do a command-line GD call to the image instead of using the PHP
functions to do so to save some memory; if it still times out, then
it's undoable altogether.

However, I cannot find the standalone executable file that will ensure
I can run GD from the command line. Suggestions?

Thanx
Phil
