I am facing the same issue the magento stack answer is not helping. He is saying to change php configure script but where is that and what file? is it config.ini or php.ini or what? I am using ngnix server

Thanks

Well, what is configure command is a matter of googling as well.

In PHPInfo you can see something like

Configure Command | './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/php70/7.0.20_12' '--localstatedir=/usr/local/var' '--sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/php/7.0' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php/7.0' '--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php/7.0/conf.d' '--mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/php70/7.0.20_12/share/man' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dba' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-mbregex' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-soap' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvmsg' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-wddx' '--enable-zip' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/opt/freetype' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext=/usr/local/opt/gettext' '--with-iconv-dir=/usr' '--with-icu-dir=/usr/local/opt/icu4c' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/opt/jpeg' '--with-kerberos=/usr' '--with-mhash' '--with-ndbm=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local/opt/libpng' '--with-xmlrpc' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--with-readline=/usr/local/opt/readline' '--without-gmp' '--without-snmp' '--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/opt/libxml2' '--with-pdo-odbc=unixODBC,/usr/local/opt/unixodbc' '--with-unixODBC=/usr/local/opt/unixodbc' '--with-bz2=/usr' '--with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl' '--enable-fpm' '--with-fpm-user=_www' '--with-fpm-group=_www' '--with-curl' '--with-xsl=/usr' '--with-ldap' '--with-ldap-sasl=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=mysqlnd' '--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd' '--disable-opcache' '--enable-pcntl' '--without-pear' '--enable-dtrace' '--disable-phpdbg' '--enable-zend-signals'

in the very top. This is a command which can be used to recompile PHP.

Note that in my case GD is used with freetype. GitHub is not a help desk, problems with your particular environment should be raised in Magento Stack Exchange so that answers can be reused by others.

I solved it by adding libfreetype.so file in user/lib64 directory (in my case it was _root/lib64_).
The libfreetype.so file should contain the following code

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs --enable-bcmath --with-curl --with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib64/ --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64/ --with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib64/ \
--enable-intl --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --with-openssl \
--with-pdo-mysql --enable-soap --with-xsl --enable-zip --enable-opcache

Note: Don't forget to restart your server after adding the script.
