Anyway, depending on your environment here's what you can do (would've been nice if you provided more infos):

* If you're in a shared host environment, ask your host company.
* If your php installation is a part of your linux distribution, read the docs of this distribution or find newer installation packages.
* If you want to compile PHP yourself be shure to use --with-gd in your configure statement. I also needed --with-jpeg and --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib to have full GD support on my SuSE 9.1 linux with self compiled PHP 5.2.0.
