layer type annotation ...label??

[John Smith]

if i just leave the annotation layer shown below in the map file, this
is what gives?

msDrawLegend(): GD library error. Unable to initialize image.
msImageCreateGD(): Image handling error. Cannot create GD image of size 40 x 0.

but why??

i can label shape layers fine, just not annotation layers??
