GD , installed what next ?

[haivu98]

My host said :
 GD is a set of libraries that help in image manipulation . PHP has been compiled with GD support , so you would not need the path of GD.

So, what do I need to put in the setting so GD library will work " Please help.

well, there is NO GD support in your PHP build
at "Configure Command" you will see: --without-gd
