Using gd w/o the php module?

I have some web space on a unix box (sparcos) but that server does not have the php gd module installed. I guess it was compiled w/o gd support: configure command: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.5' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--enable-discard-path'; there is no gd section at all in the phpinfo() printout.

I was able to compile libgd with png & jpeg support successfully, but I don't have administrative privileges to actually install a module into apache. How can I bypass having to use the gd php module and just interface with libgd directly?

Thanks.
