Moving it to /usr/local/lib (thus making it system-wide) is probably the 
quickest way to get up and running, but you should be able to get it 
working on a more limited basis also.  I would recommend looking into 
the cvsgraph configure args, specifically --with-gd-inc and 
--with-gd-lib.  Use the appropriate paths, recompile cvsgraph, and see 
if that works.

Note that there are similar configure args for freetype2, jpeg, png, and 
z.  If you have not installed these libraries system-wide, you may need 
to set the appropriate paths for them as well.

Unless you have a compelling reason not to (for example, security with 
multiple virtual hosts), installing these libraries system-wide is your 
best bet as it simplifies maintenance.
