My story starts two weeks ago when I tried to use a captcha php script only to find that I needed gd installed, which needs jpeg and png support, which needs zlib support, which needs, which needs, which needs. You get my drift.
I have spent countless hours trying to get PHP with gd support to work and all I've managed to do is screw up KDE, now it won't start because of this libjpeg problem.
I have searched forums, newsgroups, email lists, websites, etc., etc. and I have yet to find anyone that can offer even one tidbit of information on how to get this to work.
I have followed the instructions on the page below to the letter and still nothing. I have managed to get it compiled now and phpinfo() says everything is there, but it doesn't do anything.

Can someone, a child perhaps, give me some idea of what the problem is. I'll be here trying to figure out how to get KDE working again.
Thanks
