I already did re-install libgd after I read that thread even though brew showed freetype as installed. Didn't work.

The only thing I can think of is I did try installing GD with cpan before installing it with cpanm and it could not make so I force installed it. Maybe there's some leftover crap somewhere that is messing things up?

cpan -t GD

** WARNING: found gd.h header file in /usr/local/includegd.h, but it is expected at /usr/local/Cellar/gd/2.1.0/include/gd.h. This may cause compile errors! **
