php-gd installed but fails to function in centos 7 (php 7.3 version)

I am trying to install moodle but it shows php-gd extension is missing/should be enabled. However the gd is already installed and latest, and when I command php -v I get the following error as indicated below. 

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'gd.so' (tried: /usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so (/lib64/libraqm.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_ft_font_set_load_flags), /usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so.so (/usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP 7.3.17 (cli) (built: Apr 14 2020 08:29:22) ( NTS )

I did a lot of editing but I could not find a single solution. Please help

I had the same problem:

# php --version
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'gd' (tried: /usr/lib64/php/modules/gd (/usr/lib64/php/modules/gd: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib64/php/modules/gd.so (/lib64/libraqm.so.0: undefined symbol: hb_ft_font_set_load_flags)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP 7.2.32 (cli) (built: Jul  8 2020 07:33:50) ( NTS )

A quick search in google told me that hb_ft_font_set_load_flags comes from HarfBuzz (https://harfbuzz.github.io/harfbuzz-hb-ft.html).

I installed it with yum install harfbuzz, and after that the warning is gone:

php --version

Run:

yum install libraqm-devel

[root@* ~]# yum provides '*/libraqm.so*'
Repository epel is listed more than once in the configuration
libraqm-0.7.0-4.el7.x86_64 : Complex Textlayout Library
Repo        : epel
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libraqm.so.0.700.0
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libraqm.so.0



libraqm-devel-0.7.0-4.el7.x86_64 : Complex Textlayout Library
Repo        : epel
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/lib64/libraqm.so


[root@* ~]# ll /usr/lib64/libraqm.so*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    18 Jul 20 23:20 /usr/lib64/libraqm.so -> libraqm.so.0.700.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    18 Jul 18 19:00 /usr/lib64/libraqm.so.0 -> libraqm.so.0.700.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19792 Jan 11  2020 /usr/lib64/libraqm.so.0.700.0

libraqm.so provided by libraqm-devel.

Install libraqm-devel will also install freetype and harfbuzz, which provide hb_ft_font_set_load_flags.
