This is the big problem - the GD Libary is NOT included by Apple in  
their install of PHP, and in my case I need it on my site for dynamic  
resizing of images, so have to use something else.

The install of Entropy as I noted from this page

http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=2945

has worked for me since February, and Troy Meyers reports that it  
installed effortlessly for him today.

The only downside to this is that it's now one version of PHP behind -  
5.2.5 instead of 5.2.6
