Hello,
Does anyone have experience in installing or enabling a GD library (php-gd-5.3.5-1.fc14.i686) on a virtual private server (VPS) with GoDaddy?
The server is Linux CentOS with a C-panel control panel.
The library is used by Drupal (PHP) for working with images. It's not enabled on this VPS. I tried a number of things along with their support guy and could not get it enabled.
Of course GoDaddy has it listed as one of the php libraries that are installed by default.
Any advice or help would be welcomed.
Thanks!

P.S. I'm willing to hire someone if it's a quick job.

Assuming you have root access
This should be as simple as logging in to the server, becoming root, and doing
yum install php-gd
Unless (and this is a big unless considering it's GoDaddy) there's something peculiar about the VPS.

Apache/PHP
Thanks Steve,
I think it is something related to GoDaddy. Yum installed the library, but Apache/PHP still doesn't see it. :(
Does GoDaddy let you access
Does GoDaddy let you access the php.ini of your site?

Do you see it (gd.so) listed
Do you see it (gd.so) listed in this directory, where your enabled php modules should be:
/usr/lib64/php/modules
If you aren't using a 64 bit machine you won't see that part. The yum install procedure that Steve described, worked for me on CentOS.
