Yes ..

I actually have php 4.3.0 with gd2 (inc gif support - a patched version)

If you are in the US, you should not have the patched version.

But in case you are Australian then you can apparently.

I am a Brit so I think I can have it as Australia is a colony.

wget http://downloads.rhyme.com.au/gd/gd-2.0.7gif.tar.gz

In the past I have had to amend the makefile for the RAQ, but with the
latest version, it installs no  problem
just follow the instructions in the README.

Then . here is how I upgraded php to 4.3.0 and have it pick up the GD stuff.
You may need to amend the php config lines and remove  things you do not
have .. like  curl.

Hope that helps
