I mean you should type (as root)

yum install gd-devel

on your system to get the libraries you need to build the cgi-programs 
that didn't execute properly.

This is odd. Do you have SELinux turned on? If so, turn it off and try 
accessing the page through the web again. Try Google or the RedHat user

As a side note, I expected you to get errors several times when cd'ing 
to the directory, as well as when trying to execute the cgi program.
