Makefile GD lib problem on Centos 4 (aka RHES4)

[Luke Johnson]

Not sure about how iconv is related to GD, other then coming before it 
in the Make check sequence...

For kicks I downloaded/compiled/installed the new libiconv, but no 
change...  my ./configure from before and after was:

checking for *main in -liconv... yes*
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 1)... no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 2)... no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 3)... no
checking for gdImagePng in -lgd (order 4)... no


*** GD, PNG, and/or JPEG libraries could not be located... *********

... So, I still got problems with gd.

Thanks,
LJ
