Rather than install from source, I'd suggest installing the php-gd 
package (yum install php-gd, it's in the main repositories) and 
restarting Apache

Temporarily disable the repository by passing "--disablerepo=dag" to 
yum's command line invocation (eg in the above example: yum 
--disablerepo=dag install php-gd")
