[TriLUG] Re: PHP GD in FC3

[Brian Henning]

Well, GD is supposed to be distributed with PHP since PHP-4.3...  but I 
wouldn't necessarily put it past Red Hat / Fedora to alter the 
inclusions of a particular package..  The only error messages I'm 
seeing, however, are "undefined function"..  no mention (specifically) 
of any missing libraries.
