(external libgd library is fine, whcih already exists in the AIX Toolbox rpms)

Looking for the same on AIX.

Hi 

Could you please add freetype2 and libjpeg 9 dynamic linking support to the php-gd  package?  It was compiled without it looks like.

Thank you .

Meanwhile I was able to compile a dynamically loaded gd.so (similar to the one in the php-gd rpm)

The compilation requires running phpize and adding a -lm linker flag to Makefile. AIX compiles without the math library otherwise.

Also while working on this I ran into an outdated version of the libjpeg in the AIX tool box (opened another thread on it)
