i am using linux.
i installed with command: yum install php-gd
i then edited the php.ini file to enable it, buy removing the ; from: ;extension=php_gd2.dll

Are you running Apache webserver? Try restarting it.

Check that you do have installed
libpng, libjpeg (and the development ones libpng-devel, libjpeg-devel), freetype2, freetype
If it does not resolve it, check if there is any message in /var/log/messages
An alternative as well is to donwload the tar source and compile it & phpize it

Something strange there. You're using yum, so it's presumably a RH / CentOS server but the php.ini contains Windows .dll files...?
Check which versions of PHP you have installed / running and (in the phpinfo) whether you're editing the correct php.ini.

The standard CentOS 5 (yum) PHP is version 5.1.6 and it doesn't install to /usr/local. Did you compile this one yourself or install from a control panel / rpm / non-standard repo? In any case, "yum install php-gd" probably won't help if you're not using yum's version of PHP. At a guess though, installing php-gd should have installed php too, so you may have both versions now, it's just a question of which one Apache is set to use.
You need to choose how you want to build / install / maintain PHP and stick to that one method: compile it yourself, use yum standard packages or find another repo that offers what you want. I'd recommend standard yum unless you have a control panel or a specific need for the latest features.

If you'd told us you were using cPanel in the first place you'd have got that answer a lot sooner...
