Does phpinfo, 

<?php echo phpinfo(); ?>

list gd? Means similar to this:

gd

GD Support 	enabled
GD Version 	2.0 or higher
FreeType Support 	enabled
FreeType Linkage 	with freetype
FreeType Version 	2.2.1
T1Lib Support 	enabled
GIF Read Support 	enabled
GIF Create Support 	enabled
JPG Support 	enabled
PNG Support 	enabled
WBMP Support 	enabled


If not, then gd is definitely not installed (correctly) as a php extension.
Until gd does not show up in phpinfo, you won`t be lucky.


Try to remove any existent installations with:

apt-get remove --purge php4-gd php4-gd2
php4-gd_any_other_package_still_installed_on_your_system


Then please try to reinstall the latest one, currently
http://packages.dotdeb.org/dists/sarge/php4/binary-i386/php4-gd_4.4.2-0.dotd
eb.1_i386.deb
