GD problem

[zona]

My host just told me that he installed the latest version of GD which is what I think I am missing to be able to add images to the gallery.

But still I can't add pictures. And still I don't find anything about "GD" in my info.php.

Anybody got a clue?

Also is there anyway that I can install IM or GD by myself? I have shell access but not administer account.

if there's no GD section in <?php phpfino(); ?>, then PHP is not configured to use GD - ask you webhost not only to install GD, but to upgrade to a more recent PHP version which has built-in GD support.
If you have shell access, you could try installing ImageMagick on your own (I don't have any experience in this, I just heard it could be possible), but I guess there are very few people who have experience in this field on this board, so I suggest you try your luck on http://www.imagemagick.org/ or google this up. Afaik you can't install GD if you're not the server admin.

Does the host really have to upgrade php or is installing & configuring php to accept GD always a 2 step setup?

In any case how do one add GD support?

Any hints would be appreciated.

You can't install GD unless you have root access - it's a matter of asking your host to recompile php with GD support.  Same thing with ImageMagick - ask your host to install it.
