The problem here is that GD has over time evolved a little. Specifically, early versions of GD used the GIF format for the graphic they were generating. As GIF is encumbered by patents though, GD has dropped support in favour of supporting PNG (and more recently JPG I believe). So, in general you need to make sure the app you're trying to run has a version of GD with the relevant interface. So, old versions of webalizer need old versions of GD and new versions of webalizer use more recent versions of GD for instance. Only matched APIs will 'mate' correctly. Enno.
