I had trouble getting it to work too. The configure script had
problems locating "libgd.a" and "libgd.h". The main reason is
that in gd's Makefile, you can choose the dest dirs (include and
lib) to be whatever you want :
        $cat gd-1.7.3/Makefile
        [...]
        #Location where libgd.a should be installed by "make install".
==> INSTALL_LIB=/usr/local/lib/gd
        
        #Location where .h files should be installed by "make install".
==> INSTALL_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/gd
        [...]

Then, in order to successfully compile php, you need to use :
        ./configure [...] --with-gd=/path/to/gd

configure looks for the two files it needs : "gd.h" and "gd.(a|so)",
in /path/to/gd/lots_of_different_subdirs :
      $cat ./configure
      [...]
      test -f $withval/include/gd1.3/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval/include/gd1.3"
      test -f $withval/include/gd/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval/include/gd"
      test -f $withval/include/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval/include"
      test -f $withval/gd1.3/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval/gd1.3"
      test -f $withval/gd/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval/gd"
      test -f $withval/gd.h && GD_INCLUDE="$withval"

      test -f $withval/lib/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval/lib"
      test -f $withval/lib/gd/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval/lib/gd"
      test -f $withval/lib/gd1.3/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval/lib/gd1.3"
      test -f $withval/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval"
      test -f $withval/gd/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval/gd"
      test -f $withval/gd1.3/libgd.so && GD_LIB="$withval/gd1.3"

      test -f $withval/lib/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval/lib"
      test -f $withval/lib/gd/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval/lib/gd"
      test -f $withval/lib/gd1.3/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval/lib/gd1.3"
      test -f $withval/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval"
      test -f $withval/gd/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval/gd"
      test -f $withval/gd1.3/libgd.a && GD_LIB="$withval/gd1.3"
      [...]

Given the above INSTALL_LIB and INSTALL_INCLUDE, the right option
to give to php's configure script is : --with-gd=/usr/local

Bonne chance ;-)
