How to do a PHP Recompile? Imagecreatetruecolor error

Question

As this is a new question I assume it's fine to create a new fresh question?

My previous question is here:

imageantialias call to undefined function error with GD installed

Markus helped me figure out the problem, I have since contacted the clients and set up a VPS for them, I have transferred the files and database and everything is running fine. Apart from the same error, only this time, I'm getting a different error;

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatetruecolor() in /home/public_html/admin/library/functions.php on line 232

I assume this is relating to the same thing and it required a php recompile? Could someone please give me some instructions on how to do a php recompile on Mac OS X, I tried the PHP docs but I can't seem to understand how it works.

Many Thanks!

Make sure you have the correct version of PHP and GD installed. From the PHP manual :

Depending on your PHP and GD versions this function is defined or not. With PHP 4.0.6 through 4.1.x this function always exists if the GD module is loaded, but calling it without GD2 being installed PHP will issue a fatal error and exit . With PHP 4.2.x this behaviour is different in issuing a warning instead of an error. Other versions only define this function, if the correct GD version is installed.
