You are looking to see soemthing like this in the Configure Command
section

Configure Command './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-dir=/usr/local'
'-with-png-dir=/usr/local' '--with-gd=/usr/local'

See '--with-gd=/usr/local'

You shouldn't have to mess with php.ini. GD library may not be compiled
with PHP dependent upon the version.
