Do I have the necessary gd packages installed on my CentOS 4 box?

rpm -qa | grep gd

gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0-17.el4.3
gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.22.0-17.el4.3
gdbm-1.8.0-24
gdbm-devel-1.8.0-24
gd-devel-2.0.28-5.4E
gd-2.0.28-5.4E
gdm-2.6.0.5-7.rhel4.15
sysklogd-1.4.1-26_EL

I'm trying to install PerfParser (./compile->make && make install),
but I'm getting a "gImageString error", which according to this FAQ
(http://perfparse.de/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1) means:

"The gd library is probably not installed yet on your system. Or you
are missing the development package such as libgd-devel or libgd-dev."

I "yum search" 'd for libdg and found the following.  Is this what I install?
