You don't say what kind of script you're trying.

Is it a PHP script?  If so, do you have GD built into PHP?

Are there any instructions with the auction script for making sure you 
have GD support?  If so, have you followed them?

Try this:

1) create a file in your site web directory named: phpinfo.php

The contents of the file should be only these three lines:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


Make sure the file is readable; 644 works for me.

Then look at it in your browser:

http://www.domain.ext/phpinfo.php

and scroll down to find support for gd; you should have a section titled 
"gd", something like this:

<snip>
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.15 compatible)
GIF Read Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
</snip>

If you don't, then you don't have PHP compiled properly.
