You will probably have to wait till php 4.3.9.

As taken from php.net/gd:
GIF "Only supported in GD versions older than gd-1.6. Read-only GIF support is available with PHP 4.3.0 and the bundled GD-library. Write support is avaliable since PHP 4.3.9 and PHP 5.0.1."

[AbeFroman]

These 12 commands will install gd2.0.28 perfectly:
wget http://www.boutell.com/gd/http/gd-2.0.28.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gd-2.0.28.tar.gz
cd gd-2.0.28
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install
cd /home/cpphpbuild/php-4.3.8
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--with-dom' '--with-dom-xslt' '--with-dom-exslt' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcrypt' '--with-mhash' '--with-ming=../ming-0.2a' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--with-openssl' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--with-pspell' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-ttf' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-wddx' '--with-zlib'
make
make install
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

Your php info file will read:
gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled

"GIF Create Support enabled" means it GD 2.0.28

I would first caution anyone thinking about doing the above, to first check out their phpinfo ./configure line and adjust these accordingly. Also, take into consideration additional steps or alterations to the above if you have phpsuexec set up, etc.

You may also be able to upgrade gd without re-compiling php if you already have a previous version of GD compiled into php.

[AbeFroman]

Just run easy apache first with those modules, installing those modules on every server will cover 99.99% of you customers php needs.

[StevenC]

Maybe they dont need every module? for example my phpinfo: http://64.21.102.144/phpinfo.php

[AbeFroman]

do
ls /home | grep php

[AbeFroman]

do
locate php-4.3.8

Wow, 4.3.9 has been out for more than 24 hours now and I do not see the expected half-dozen "unique" first day threads asking when it is going to be incorporated. Must be some real problems going on in the world.
