your GD install needs to have jpg-support enabled.

first of all, you should not use that PP version, there are newer versions available, 1.4.3 or 1.5BETA

it is better to support an actual version...

either ask your host or i believe you can change it in php.ini

imho jpeg support has to be enabled when compiling/installing gd.
it uses jpeg-6b package for this afaik.
enabling gd.so in php.ini should be done by the installation routine (at least it does here, even if it's not a osx)
so either ask your host or hands on man :)

Got it working now... had to rebuild php separtely from Apple's PHP install, with gd and jpeg support. It was a big pain, but got lots of help from my brother who is more of a programmer. I'm glad it's working now. Would be nice if Apple included GD and JPEG support in their PHP build... hopefully in a future version of Mac OS X Server.
