I get the "The GD library for PHP is missing or outdated." message eventhough the GD seems to be OK.
I know that by running the "php -m" in cmd and i can see GD there, and also "php --ri gd" is giving me the following info:
GD Support => enabled
GD Version => bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support => enabled
FreeType Linkage => with freetype
FreeType Version => 2.1.9
T1Lib Support => enabled
GIF Read Support => enabled
GIF Create Support => enabled
JPG Support => enabled
PNG Support => enabled
WBMP Support => enabled
XBM Support => enabled

how can i cause the "Status Report" to stop giving me this error?

I was getting this message too until I restarted apache2.

Am sure you have tried that or rebooted since, but just thought I'd mention it.

Dj.

uncomment the following statement in php.ini & restart webserver

;extension=php_gd2.dll

Package php5-gd 5.2.6. lib no image rotations filtering etc

I have the same problem.

First of all: uncommenting the gd-lib extension doesn't help, coz it's already active!

I'm running Ubuntu, Apache2 and
PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny2 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Jan 26 2009 22:41:04)
GD enabled!

php --ri gd gives me:

GD Support => enabled
GD Version => 2.0 or higher
FreeType Support => enabled
FreeType Linkage => with freetype
FreeType Version => 2.3.7
T1Lib Support => enabled
GIF Read Support => enabled
GIF Create Support => enabled
JPG Support => enabled
PNG Support => enabled
WBMP Support => enabled

I update the latest apt-get install php5-gd package, which is: 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3 and I restarted Apache ofcourse.

Still it says, that "PHP GD does not support image rotations".
