ok, I found it. There were two reasons:
1) the php inside the linux installer does not include the gdlib
2) using imagemagick - works fine

3) all OTHER image variations are created ON THE FLY! So, this could be interessting for other users:

If you upload an image an do nothing else, there are only 1 images:

-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2436 Apr 26 16:59 test_php.gif

If you click in the administration interface to the newly created image, then you see the full view of the image, so NOW, the large image variation is created:

-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2436 Apr 26 16:59 test_php.gif
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2428 Apr 26 17:00 test_php_large.gif
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2428 Apr 26 17:00 test_php_reference.gif

If you edit this image, the admin interface shows you the medium alias, again a new variation is created:

-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2436 Apr 26 16:59 test_php.gif
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2428 Apr 26 17:00 test_php_large.gif
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2428 Apr 26 17:01 test_php_medium.gif
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 2428 Apr 26 17:00 test_php_reference.gif

and so on ...

Maybe it helps someone and makes the creation of image variations more clear!
