	You need to find an older version of GD. This is because of Unisys'
decision to suddenly start threatening people who write GIF creation
software as it sometimes violates a pataent they own. What a suprise
that they didn't do anything about it until GIF became such an important
file format.

	The current version of Webalizer doesn't use the new version (which
produces PNGs instead of GIFs) and the author has either ignored or not
recieved my questions regarding this and patches regarding other issues.

	I think that there is a link to an older version of GD off the
webalizer website if you want to take the risk. Or you can modify
Webalizer yourself (or wait for me to decide that the author has lost
interest & do it myself).
