The photoalbum module requires the GD library functions.
If you are getting this error then your GD libs are missing.
Please contact your systems administrator to resolve this issue.
With versions of php prior to 4.3.0 you must compile the GD libs into your build of php (--with-gd[=DIR], where DIR is the GD base install directory)
Php 4.3.0 and greater have the GD libs already built in.
For more information please refer to the
PHP Image Function Manual
