yes but it's not libjpeg.

On the Raq4 php is preinstalled and is compiled with gd-1.3-5  support and
it is compiled into php already.... If you want the current version of gd
you need libjpeg-devel anyway.... and you might want to rebuild the
smartupstools too...

Above is an example of what NOT to do to your cobalt.

What you should do is...
(This has been done by me on a Raq4r)
goto ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.1/en/os/i386/SRPMS/
and get the current libjpeg srpm and build and install the rpms it makes...
Then get the php srpm form http://ftp.cobaltnet.com/products/raq4/SRPMS/
(for the default config it's
http://ftp.cobaltnet.com/products/raq4/SRPMS/php-4.0.3pl1-C1r4.src.rpm )
Edit the spec file to include --with-jpeg in the options and build it and
install it.

maybe this should be updated to "Redhat Linux"

The default Raq4 has no libjpeg installed and compiled into php...
You need to install it as above.
