I don't run Fedora, but I'll see what I can do ...

That's because you didn't run "updatedb" prior to running locate, so
the locate database only contained those filenames that were present
when updatedb was last run (which was probably by a daily cron job).

What the script can't find here are the development headers for the GD
library - look for a package that is named "gd-devel", and install it.
Headers in FC (and several other distros) are packaged separately from
the runtime libraries to which they correspond, because only those who
tend to compile things need them, and those users are in the minority.
