By using the correct paths with the configure options
would most likely give you working PHP..

(hint: leave the /lib part out of the paths)

Ask further support questions on the mailing lists:

No, this is not the problem. The defines are messed up and I know this precisely, because the compiler gives me a

gd.c: In function `php_imagettftext_common':
gd.c:2751: warning: implicit declaration of function `gdImageStringFT'
gd.c:2751: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

when the patch is not applied. Changing the paths for the configure does not change this. As you can see by the output of the configure, alls relevant libraries are found by the script. The HAVE_* defines are set correctly, I had a look at the php_config.h. I don't have the StringFTEx in my libgd, I checked it.

So is HAVE_GD_STRINGFTEX defined in your php_config.h or not?

Also this might have some effect:

# rm config.cache
# ./configure <with correct options, without /lib in paths..>
# make clean ; make

Jani, I do know how to reestablish a pristine environment 
for a recompile after I encountered an error. I usually 
use make distclean :-/

from the main/php_config.h:
/* #undef HAVE_GD_STRINGFTEX */
