 == COMPILE/INSTALL GD-1.8.4 (with GIF and TTF) ==
 
 RH7.2 comes with a copy of gd-1.8.4 (without GIF) preinstalled. Since we want gd-1.8.4 with GIF (http://www.rime.com.au/gd/), we have to uninstall gd-devel-1.8.4-4.rpm and then install our new copy of gd under /usr/local/lib. This won't affect or break existing applications because removing the RPM only removes /usr/lib/libgd.so (logical link) and /usr/lib/libgd.a and the associated headers, but the physical file (libgd.so.1.8.4) will remain there for applications that came preinstalled on the RH system.

 == COMPILE/INSTALL PHP 4 ==
 
 Note: We want PHP to use our custom GD compiled with Freetype 1.3, but PHP won't detect freetype by default. PHP looks for freetype1 headers under /usr/include/freetype and $with_ttf/include/freetype, but RH7.2 has them under /usr/include/freetype1/freetype ... this has been filed as bug 17130 in the PHP bugs database. Until this is fixed, for PHP to detect the freetype1 headers, we have to create a logical link in /usr/include:
