libgd-1.8.4
freetype-2.0.3-7
freetype-devel-2.0.3-7
freetype-utils-2.0.3-7

Although in big #9569 you've said that
GD extension only works with Freetype 1.x
Guys from gd are saying:
"If you want to use the TrueType font support, you must 
also install the FreeType 2.x library, including the 
header files."

while configuring, I got this:
checking whether to enable truetype string function in 
gd... no
checking for freetype(2)... no



my config line:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc 
--disable-debug --enable-shared --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs 
--with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png 
--with-ttf=/usr/lib --with-freetype=/usr/lib --with-zlib 
--enable-safe-mode --enable-track-vars --enable-ftp 
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-dbase --with-gettext


script:
<?php
$im = imagecreate (400, 30);
$black = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$white = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, 
"/path/arial.ttf",
              "Testing... Omega: &#937;");
ImagePNG ($im);
?>


error:
Warning: ImageTtfText: No TTF support in this PHP build

Use --enable-gd-native-ttf or --enable-gd-native-tt (yes that's a typo) if the first doesn't work.

it works fine with
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib --enable-gd-native-ttf
and i got support for TTF, 

but then I got "libgd was not built with TrueType" 
so I had to make change in source code that was 
exlained in bug #12065

# if HAVE_LIBGD20 & HAVE_LIBFREETYPE 
=>
# HAVE_LIBFREETYPE


now I can use TTF functions

but, did someone make changes in the source code,
so people won't have to do it by themselves?

Now your problem is that your version of GD was not built with FreeType. You should build it yourself from the source or use a different package.

I can't find 

# if HAVE_LIBGD20 & HAVE_LIBFREETYPE 

in /usr/local/gd/gd.c
what should I do ?
