This is the key observation (although there may be other problems).

Configure confirms the lib/header locations by compiling a few lines of 
code using the paths it found in the gcc options (-I -L -l) .

If it fails, it means that either the libraries _or_ headers are not 
where it thought they were or there is another problem (perhaps with 
autoconf, but this is almost certainly not the problem here).

Is it psssible that you have a system without the gd headers ?
I have heard it said that one must install the devel RPMS to get the 
headers (so that you can compile against the lib rather than using it).

You may want to check that the function gdImagePng _is_ in the libs 
that ldconfig says it is eg

eg on this non RH system

FreeBSD 4.9                     October 3, 1993                    
FreeBSD 4.9
tsitc> ldconfig -r | grep -i gd
        115:-lgdk12.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libgdk12.so.2
        126:-lgdbm.2 => /usr/local/lib/libgdbm.so.2
        128:-lgd.2 => /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2
        148:-lgd.0 => /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libgd.so.0
tsitc> nm /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2 | grep gdImagePng
00008d60 T gdImagePng
00008dfc T gdImagePngCtx
00008da4 T gdImagePngPtr
0000826c T gdImagePngToSink

When you see T you are in luck, U means out of it.

Yours sincerely.
