Okay, you will need to download and install the following packages:

jpeg-6b - www.ijg.org
libpng - www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

and then

gd - www.boutell.com/gd

GD has not had GIF support for a while, but don't worry because PNG is 
better in many respects.

You will then need to re-configure PHP

./configure --with-gd=<path to gd directories>

As long as you carefully read the readme's in each archive, you will have 
no problems.
