Installing PHP5.0.2 on Slackware 9.1

Hello All,

I am somewhat of a novice to installing software from source on Linux, so I 
am trying to work it out with PHP 5.0.2 with GD, zlib, bzip2 and mysql 
support. Only I am having some issues.

When I try to configure PHP with ./configure --with-mysql --with-gd it 
tells me it cant find GD. Ok, my thought process was that the PHP script 
would compile the extensions it had when asked for them, but I was wrong 
apparently. SO I went and downloaded the gd-2.0.32 source and try to 
install that. Heh. ./configures fine, but when I do a make, it comes back 
with errors in gdft.c saying that the structure has no member named 
'platform'. (I can supply the exact output if necessary). So I tried 
downloading separate copies of gdft.c, but still the same issue.

Any ideas folks? I would be most appreciative for your support.
