You have to install them.
This is an easy way.
Log in to the raq using ssh
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/freetype-1.3.1-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/freetype-devel-1.3.1-5.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/freetype2-2.0.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh
http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/freetype2-devel-2.0.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/gd-devel-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/gd-progs-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://www.uk2raq.com/updates/php/gd-static-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm

Although getting the latest version tarballs and installing them would be
better and quite straightforward to install.

You would then need to update php.

I am sure you do not have PHP4.3.0 - so I would suggest you follow the notes
I posted a couple of days ago.
