How can I upgrade to GD2 on 7.5.4?

I'm running RHEL3 and I'm trying to upgrade my GD Library to gd2 for a non-PHP related project.

rpm -q gd
gd-1.8.4-12.3.1

I downloaded some newer GD library packages here and tried to install them:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) webalizer-2.01_10-15.ent
libgd.so.1.8 is needed by (installed) glibc-utils-2.3.2-95.37

So here I am, trying to figure out the best way to resolve these deps. I looked high and low for an RPM upgrade to glibc, but there is nothing for EL3. I saw some posts talking about updating to gd2 by upgrading the php-gd package. I checked my current php installation:

rpm -qa | grep php-
php-imap-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-xmlrpc-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-pear-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-mcrypt-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-devel-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-mbstring-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-ldap-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-domxml-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-mhash-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-pgsql-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-odbc-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-mysql-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art
php-snmp-4.4.1-1.rhel3.art

I tried to install php-gd from yum:
yum install php-gd
Nothing to do

So apparantly the ART packages don't contain a php-gd package, so I wrote that off, or at least with my version.

So my question is how can I upgrade to GD2 for a non-php related project without breaking webalizer and more importantly, glibc?

Thanks in advance!
