[Brent Weatherall]

Hi Zak, thanks for the suggestion. I just included the path /usr/local for
any of the libs I wanted withing php and it cured the problem after I
recomplied

Much appreciated!

Brent,

I think you might get more specific help on the mapserver-users list as
this isn't really a maplab issue. The basic problem is that when you
compile php, it's not using the version of gd that you built, but the
internal php version in the ext directory. Reconfigure php
--with-gd=<path to your gd> and then recompile and reinstall mapscript.
