    You should simply be able to add GD and TTF (FreeType) during EasyApache compile itself. Have you tried running /scripts/easyapache and then selecting those two modules in Step 6's Exhaustive Options list?

    You can see after you recompile if they are enabled with the following commands:

    Code:
    php -m | grep -i gd
php -i | grep FreeType

    Hello :)

    This depends on the exact script you have installed that uses the captcha system. It's possible it's not related to GD/FreeType, and the problem is related to the script itself. Have you tried contacting the support for this script to see if it is a known issue?

    Thank you.
