Ouch? That's exactly what i added to my post "Make sure GD is installed
on the system."
Making sure GD is installed on the system is a very sensible thing to do.
The "ouch" was aimed at the suggestion that if you're on a *nix
system, the course of action is to recompile php. Normally these days
you'd just install the gd module (the equivalent of your windows dll)
through your package manager.
My bad! :) I always compile everything from source....
