I'm setting up a Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS server at work for a client who plans to install something called "Stori" (an Oracle-ish thing, stori.orapub.com http://stori.orapub.com). The requirements FAQ on that site is vague, saying "You can install our product on any Linux server." Okay, so what else? "You will need the gd package; do rpm -q gd to ensure it's installed." That's for a Red Hat-derived distro presumably, so what's the equivalent for Debian/Ubuntu? The only package I found was php5-gd, which seems like overkill as it brings in a ton of other stuff. Is gd installed by default in Ubuntu 10.04?
I have no idea if it would be there by default, but you could try running "locate /libgd." on your system to see if the library files are installed. (BTW, on an Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS system here, they were already installed, but then this system has PHP and a bunch of support packages for a web site. The package name for gd on this Ubuntu distro is "libgd2-xpm".)
