Are you SURE that Nagios is finding the gd libs?  If Nagios has 
problems, it *will* display errors for the plugins that need them, even 
though everything else will "make".

On my system, I had to tell Nagios *specifically* where gd was, 
otherwise it failed every time.

No, if they're on your system they'll work, you may have to tell Nagios' 
configure script *where* they are though.

Yes.

Read the documentation for each library.  It's usually in a file called 
"README" in the library's directory after you extract the files.

Also read the "INSTALL" file, or its equivalent for each library (the 
README will usually tell you which file to read for instructions)

Yes, you should try this...

Yes, where is your gd library located?

Mine is in /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/, but this may vary 
for you.

Yup... are you confused about these steps?

If so, what are you confused about specifically?
