What version of GD Lib are you running?
This is what I found at the FAQs of GD Lib.

Does GD Lib support GIFs? -
Yes. Support for GIF was restored in gd 2.0.28 on July 21st, 2004. Support for creating GIF animations is also available. Note that gdlib-config --features can be used to list the image formats supported by gd. Versions of gdlib-config prior to recent updates do not support the --features option, which can be understood to mean that GIF is not available.

This maybe the problem.
If not let me know what version you are running and I will see what I can come up with, I don’t have the a lot of experiance with GD, but should be able to come up with something.

is there any way i can,include an image and write to a different one ?

for example

| | |
| | |
| | |
|_____| __________ |

Like that with the left hand image being unaltered and the right hand one having dynamically changing text ?
