php_gd.so is the extension for GD support in PHP.  It's also possible  
to build GD into PHP, which I have done with my PHP, no extension  
files necessary.  The --with-gd= you found is just how I configured  
PHP when compiling it and has nothing to do (in this case) with  
needing that folder at runtime.  As long as there is a GD section in  
the phpinfo() features, GD support is working.

Note that my recent PHP and Mapserver both have GD built into them,  
and the GD framework has been discontinued, so there is no need to  
install it, though it won't hurt anything except to take up space.

I haven't tried ka-map since a long time ago (it worked then), so I  
don't know how to troubleshoot the ka-map configuration.

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if  
you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm  
50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the  
answer...
