Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] GD Lib for PHP?
From: pierre.php@gmail.com (Pierre Joye)

Debian or Ubuntu (they share the same base) uses the external
libraries. Some old versions of these distributions do not have the
newest code and some GD functions available in the php's gd may not be
available. There is already a bug report there about it.

If you can compile it I would suggest to simply take the
php-src/ext/gd one and compile it like a shared extension. Be sure to
uninstall the libgd headers first (debian's).
