How do I enable the GD library in OAS 10.1.2 ?

Question

I am running OAS 10.1.2 on HP UX 11i 64 bit.
OAS 10.1.2 supports PHP, but the image function does not work. The imagecreate function gives the error:
Call to undefined function: imagecreate()
According to www.php.net, image functionality requires the GD library and one
is bundled since PHP 4.3. OAS 10.1.2 has PHP 4.3.9 so I assume that GD is
available.
But how do I enable the GD library?

In php.ini look for extension_dir, make sure it points to somewhere that exists and then further down you will see Dynamic Modules set out a little like this...
;extension=php_gd2.dll (Windows)
For installation (Quote from PHP Manual)...
To enable GD-support configure PHP --with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory. To use the recommended bundled version of the GD library (which was first bundled in PHP 4.3.0), use the configure option --with-gd. GD library requires libpng and libjpeg to compile.
In Windows, you'll include the GD2 DLL php_gd2.dll as an extension in php.ini. The GD1 DLL php_gd.dll was removed in PHP 4.3.2. Also note that the preferred truecolor image functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor(), require GD2.
