Enable GD on PHP 4.1.1 problems

Argh!

I am ready to pull out my hair on this. I have made sure that jpeg-6b is
installed, libpng is installed, zlib etc. I can configure with

../configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc --enable-versioning
--with-system-regex --disable-debug --enable-track-vars --with-zlib
--with-mysql=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-ftp
i386--freebsd4.5 --with-jpeg=/usr/local --with-png=/usr/local
--with-gd=/usr/local

no errors are thrown by make or make install but the phpinfo() page just
displays a header with no other info. If I take out with-gd=/usr/local
all goes well, the phpinfo() comes back to life...but none of the image
info appears. I get

'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' '--enable-versioning'
'--with-system-regex' '--disable-debug' '--enable-track-vars'
'--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--prefix=/usr/local/'
'--enable-ftp' 'i386--freebsd4.5'

in the configuration

Maybe I should just call it a day and start over on Monday.

Would someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
