Re: Avatar image problem – other fixes don’t work
Ah, never mind. I’ve done some more tests and the problem is that GD isn’t finding the libjpeg library – so it was the obvious problem. Because WP core uses jpeg for all its writing, well, that pretty much breaks everything. My fault. 
I think I’ve also sorted out how to properly build libjpeg on a 64-bit FreeBSD system. It seems you need the ancient patches for libjpeg, as seen here…
