    Requirements

    If you have the GD library (available at » http://www.libgd.org/) you will
    also be able to create and manipulate images.

    The format of images you are able to manipulate
    depend on the version of GD you install, and any other libraries
    GD might need to access
    those image formats. GIF support is available as
    of gd-2.0.28.

    Note: libgd-2.0.4 or higher is required. As of PHP 5.5
    libgd-2.1.0 or higher is required. Alternatively, use the bundled
    GD library that ships with
    PHP.

    You may wish to enhance GD to handle more image formats.

    versions newer than gd-2.0.28. Write

    jpeg » http://www.ijg.org/ When building the jpeg library (prior to building PHP) you must
    use the –enable-shared
    option in the configure step. If you do not, you will receive an
    error saying libjpeg.(a|so) not found when you get to the
    configure step of building PHP.

    system has an installed X-Environment.

    You may wish to enhance GD to deal with different fonts. The
    following font libraries are supported:
