I am trying to install PHP 5.2.17 on CentOS 6.2. I have downloaded RPMs from http://www6.atomicorp.com/channels/atomic/centos/6/i386/RPMs/

Problem is that the PHP RPM seems to have GD disabled by default. Hence in spite installing php-gd RPM, GD is disabled.

Is there any way that I can enable GD. Atomicorp seems to be the only website that has PHP 5.2.17 RPMs.

I am not an advanced user to be able to compile PHP.

I would appreciate help on this.

I've recently replaced our aging (386) monitoring machine with something a bit more recent and because I had driver issues with CentOS I decided to use Debian 6 (Squeeze) instead. While in the past I've preferred to compile from source this time I thought I'd try to stick with apt and install packages that way.

I suppose it was inevitable that there are issues. Of main concern is that there appears to be no image support in GD with error messages such as this whenever I try to create an image in code (PHP or Perl):

 Can't locate object method "png" via package "GD::Image"

I can replace "png" with "jpg" or "gif", all result in the same error.

I can't locate any packages which look like they might add the needed graphic support. How can I resolve this without creating a dependency hell for myself?

EDIT

Based on the various comments below I've come to the conclusion that something is screwed with at least part of my GD installation, so the question now becomes: How can I uninstall the various parts and reinstall them without causing myself any more problems than I already have? Sadly, I'm not in a position to wipe this machine and start over.

Now I remember why I've previously stayed away from these package managers and the dependency nightmares they create. :(

I'm running ubuntu 10.04.

I just ran the command, 

sudo apt-get install php5-gd

but it gave me this error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  php5-gd: Depends: php5-common (= 5.3.2-1ubuntu4) but 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

When tried an apt-get install on php5-common, but it says i already have the most recent version. How do i install php5-gd?

Additional Info Here's what I see after doing a sudo apt-get update | grep main
