Yeah, if I recall correctly the version you need is 1.3 or so.  Actually I
think the one that came on the CD is fine.  The issue is that because of
CompuServe GIF copyright issues they took GIF support out of the gd library
and expect people to use PNG instead.  PHP still uses GIF so you need the
older version.

I can't help you with the compile error but I do know that when I installed
PHP 4 from RPM it didn't upgrade PHP 3 so I also ended up with both
installed.  I think the right thing to do in that case is uninstall PHP 3
before installing PHP 4.  Make sure to make a backup copy of your php3.ini
file if you changed anything.
