Latest version of gd (1.8.3) doesn't support GIF anymore, and translates GIF calls into PNG calls.

PHP configure script checks for the presence of gdImageCreateFromGif in the gd library to determine whether to enable GIF support.

Since GIF calls are translated to PNG calls, this function will exist, and PHP mistakenly attempts to add GIF support.

Simple solution for me was to mod the configure script to look for GOATgdImageCreateFromGif, which obviously doesn't exist :)

Configure line:

./configure --with-oracle --with-oci8 --enable-trac-vars --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-zlib-dir --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-ttf --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

The problem is that you haven't completely uninstalled gd1.3, completely uninstall gd1.3 then it will work.
