Recompiling PHP with GD

Hi

I have PHP 4.0.6 installed on my server running vBulletin 2.3.0. In order to use the Image verification capbilities of VB 2.3.0 on register I need to recompile my PHP with GD support.

I've been told to upgrade to php 4.3.1 (which includes GD 2?). I have GD 1.8.4 installed but my precompiled php didn't include GD support.

Here's my Configure Command:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/www/bin/apxs' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/www/etc' '--enable-versioning' '--with-system-regex' '--disable-debug' '--enable-track-vars' '--without-gd' '--without-mysql' '--with-zlib' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--prefix=/usr/local/www' 'i386--freebsd4.4'

Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to update my exsiting version of PHP and compile --with-gd? Can I hurt anything by doing this?

My OS is FreeBSD.

Any other info, please ask

Thanks

I have apache 1.37 and php 4.3.1 with GD. I installed al from the ports w/o much prob. When you make install mod_php4 it starts an ncurses menu with options to choose from.

Here's a link that might help:
