When you (assuming you have a windows machine) use ppm, does it find GD? I'm out of ideas has to how to make ppm work. It finds other modules, just not GD. I've tried specifying a http URL but that does not help!

I forgot to mention you need development tools (like nmake) before you can install GD. GD is written in C, therefore it needs to be compiled first. There is a precompiled version, grab from: http://www.boutell.com/gd/ However, you still need to install the perl module for GD. This will require compiling the perl XS wrappers, which are written in C - thus still requiring the compiler. Hope you've got one. Now, about gdlib-config. This is included as part of the GD package, it is a script that passes configuration data to the compiler. Many other libraries use a similar script. You need to include this... but you have additional problems if it's written in sh. I would expend my effort on getting GD using PPM.
