Package description A graphics library for quick creation of PNG or JPEG images
Current state Running latest 2.0.33-9.4.el5_4.2
Installed version 2.0.33-9.4.el5_4.2
Available version 2.0.33-9.4.el5_4.2

Welcome to LQ.


# yum search php gd : Will show all php* and gd.

# yum install php-gd

Thank you. Well I get this:

Setting up Install Process
No package php-gd available.
Nothing to do

'Redhat EL' is usable with a Redhat account only.

When your system is registred in the RHN (Red Hat Network),
you can login to rhn.redhat.com , and activate the software channel on your system.

May be the "RHEL Server Optional" channel is required for php-gd ?
Please ask 'Redhat Support'.

Something not quite right with your set-up/subscription; php-gd is
part of the package stream in RHEL, should be visible like all the
other php packages ...
