First of all... you must make sure you have either the php4-gd or the php5-gd package installed.
On Ubuntu (a Debian derivative) this package is not installed by
default when you install php with apt-get or synaptic, or equivalent.
If you don't install it, the color picker in Drupal 5 garland theme
configuration will not work, for example, and you will have a status
report on the administration page reporting this problem (no gd
library... because there isn't one!).
Once you make sure you have the appropriate gd php package installed, check out the php.ini file.
I am using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, with PHP5 and apache2, on my development box, and towards the end of my /etc/php.ini file, it reads:
extension=gd.so
towards the top, there is an ;extension=gd.so by way of example, this line should be ignored. Do a good search on gd, and you will find it.
Then to restart apache:
# apache2ctl restart
Hope this helps,

Well that's what I'm using as well. Though, I installed Drupal from the
tar file, not the .deb package.
Just a silly thought: did you restart Apache after removing the ";" ?
