title: How do I install the php_gd2 extension in MAMP on a Mac?
body: <p>I'm running MAMP 1.7.2 on a Mac and I'd like to install the extension php_gd2.  How do I do this?  I know that on Windows using WAMP I'd simply select the <code>php_gd2</code> entry in the extensions menu to activate it.  How is it done when using MAMP? I know that I can do it using MacPorts but I'd prefer not to make any changes to my default OS X PHP installation. </p>
