                      ^^^^^^^^^

Perhaps this is the problem, gd.h is not in /usr/local/gd-2.0.33, but
in /usr/local/gd-2.0.33/include/

Perhaps try those locations in your configure line.

Also, I get:

locate gd.h
/usr/include/gd.h
/usr/include/php/ext/gd/php_gd.h
/usr/include/php/ext/gd/libgd/gd.h

On a FC2 box and on a FC box:

whereis gd.h
gd: /usr/include/gd.h

(locate is turned off by default on FC4 and I've not needed to re-
enable). Did you install/compile these by hand? It would have been
easier to grab as much as possible from from the YUM repositories.

Also, you'll need the php-gd if you want to use php with mapserver (from
you configure line).

Perhaps my FC4 mapserver install page can be of some use?
