GD Library

GD library, explained as:

GD is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images
complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colours, cut and paste from
other images, flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG file.
This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG is
one of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers.

This is the runtime package of the library, built with XPM (X pixmap)
and fontconfig support.

is mandatory when installing CMS Made Simple. Here's link for the doc.

But connection to php5 for this library is not in Debian etch. But cms made simple docs mention there are 3 choices. And in Debian etch, php5-imagemagick is exist. Here's what the description sez:

This package provides a wrapper for ImageMagick library
directly from PHP scripts.

PHP5 is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed
from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown
in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write
dynamically generated pages quickly.
