Comment 9 for bug 74647

For what it's worth I extracted gd-bundled.so from the following mandriva RPM, copied it to the modules directory, then uninstalled the php5-gd package, and it appears to work on Feisty with PHP 5.2.1.

ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/2007.1/i586//media/main/updates/php-gd-5.2.1-1.1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm

php -r "var_dump(function_exists('imagerotate'));"
bool(true)

php -r "var_dump(function_exists('imagelayereffect'));"
bool(true)

I haven't tested it with apache, just the cli.
