Well, the "link below" assumed you were running Red Hat 7.3, since you
were trying to install a package built specifically for that
distribution.

Here are the packages I'm running on a Red Hat 9 web server:

  httpd-2.0.40-21.9
  php-4.2.2-17.2
  gd-1.8.4-11
  libpng-1.2.2-16

And here are the packages you tried to install:

I don't know about the gd-1.8.4-4 package. I'm using -11.

Here's what I see when I ask the gd package what it sort of png-ish
stuff it requires:

  [heinlein]$ rpm -qR gd | grep -i png
  libpng12.so.0

I don't see anything about libpng.so.2. Are you sure that the gd
package you've downloaded is intended for Red Hat 9?
