You should be able to control which GD is compiled in using the
--with-gd=DIR configure option.  For instance, if the GD you want to use
is in /home/chris/gd-1.8 then the following configure command will do
the trick:

   ./configure --with-gd=/home/chris/gd-1.8

If you've already tried that and it didn't work then Email me directly
and we'll have a deeper look at the problem.
