While compiling php with gd support it completely stops. gd now no longer supports gif files. Because of this while running "make" it cause the compile to crash because the associated "gif" commands are not recognised.
I found by editing the gd.c file under ext dir and removing anything with "gif" in it I could finish the compilation.

By the way PHP is a top language and I love using it. Only just starting with it

Thanks
Evan

1. There is no GIF support in GD 1.8.4 
2. What was the configure line used to configure PHP?

Most likely you have got some old gd.h somewhere in 
your system which is found by PHP configure.
Try removing every old remains of GD library and reinstall
it.

sorry, i forgot that..
./configure --with-apxs --with-msql --with-gd

Did you check for older gd.h (ie. not matching the libgd ?)
in your system? And after removing those and reinstalling
GD try this:

1. delete config.cache
2. configure with your configure line
3. 'make clean ; make ; make install'

Thanks for your help Jani.

It was a rogue gd.h file. Deleted it and rconfigured and recompiled php.

Now it works with .png files. Once again thnanks for your help.
Got to love where Red Hat installs stuff :(
