If you have installed the latest windows binary of PHP-GTK v.2.0.1 from gtk.php.net, for one reason or another, it does not include some of the commonly-used libraries.

One of these is the GD2 library.

Note: For those of you who are not familiar with GD2, please refer to the PHP documentation at: http://www.php.net/gd.
