Hi Pete,

I've cracked this one.

I found loads of resources and forums on the net mentioning having to
edit the Makefile, or adding switches or using something called
/usr/ports/lang/php5-extrensions (I think that was for linux) etc.

And it all confused me, so I decided it was all cowpoo and I'd just
sit and figure this one out by myself. Basically I figured the
exstension is totally separate to php, php is okay, gd just needs
building and adding to php.ini.

After a bit of a scout around the pkgsrc directory I found
"/usr/pkgsrc/graphics/php-gd" and thought it sounded like it'd do the
trick.

so
    cd /usr/pkgsrc/graphics/php-gd
    make install clean

and then gd.so appears in my include directory
"/usr/pkg/lib/php/20040412" on my install.

so then just add extension=gd.so

Job done.
