Jim,

Are you pointing configure at the directory where you built GD or
where it was installed?  Often the ability to point to build directories
for packages is very fragile, and it is easier to install it in a custom
location and then point at that install tree. 

Of course, I could easily be barking up the wrong tree.  Just one 
wild speculation.

Best regards,
