Hi,

in de tut of gd they say :

Just build PHP with gd enabled (--enable-gd) to get the built-in gd distribution in any newer version of PHP

| Code: | | USE="gd" emerge mod_php -pv |
you are supposed to use mod_php if you want to use it with apache2 (or was it 1.3? cant remember).
the last "-pv" options will give you a complete (v is the short form of verbose, p is --pretend-only) list of what dependencies and their options are...quite handy.
btw, I haven't been able to make my gd work properly, but it's probably only me that's fubar 
if you need additional help, check out the desktop-guide!

In my opinion, installing php from source NOT using portage is the only way to go. Don't get me wrong, portage is spectacular, but for something as customizable and specialized as php you might be better off unmeging your php module and building it following the php install directions. I have GD working perfectly, along with many other options trying to match the php installation my web host uses. My configure file is:
| Code: | ./configure \
--with-apxs \
--with-config-file-path=/etc/php \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-bcmath \
--without-cdb \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr \
--with-gd \
--with-ttf \
--without-msql \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-pdflib \
--enable-inline-optimization \
--disable-memory-limit \
--with-gettext \
--without-readline \
--with-recode \
--without-openssl \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-curl \
--with-png-dir=/usr/lib \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
--enable-calendar \
--with-mhash \
--enable-xslt \
--with-xslt-sablot \
--with-expat-dir=/usr \
--enable-gd-lzw-gif |
Basically to install php as a dynamic module ./configure --with-whatever-you-want, make, make install and you are pretty much done. I also make a cgi version of php and use a php-aware version of cgi-wrap, again to make my Gentoo box like my FreeBSD host. Works very well for me! |

It probably depends on the apache2 USE flag. I have it set and mine installs Apache 2
