Response to: Configuring with PHP 4.3's bundled libgd
From ./configure --help: --with-gd[=DIR] Include GD support where DIR is GD install prefix. If DIR is not set, the bundled GD library will be used. So, it's --with-gd. That said, I don't believe PHP 4.3 works correctly on MacOS X with the bundled GD lib. This change landed very late in the release process and I don't think all the MacOS-specific fixes were made. Try it and let me know. If it works, great! If it doesn't, don't be surprised. I'll continue to fiddle with this and let you know when I get this working.

  Hello,
  
  I do not meet any problem on MacOS X. But if you got any problem to compile php with the bundled lib, feel free to post a bugreport on bugs.php.net, we will fix asap.

  You're right. I got PHP to compile with the bundled version of GD.
  
  In addition to --with-gd, I needed to pass --with-png-dir=/sw because my libgd.a was in /sw/lib instead of /usr/lib.

  don't you mean libpng.a? ;-)
  
  The issue is that gd requires either libtiff or libpng (I think) to be available somewhere in your ld library path. Since neither is included by default in the Mac OS, the ./configure will fail with a very unhelpful error.
  
  Take care,
