You first need to convert the gif into the format that Symbian requires for it to render. Symbian has provided an image conversion API that you can use for this process. You will probably get the best benefit at looking at how the Image conversion sample program works (examples\MultiMedia\ImageConv).
The example demonstrates how to write the code to convert and display many different types of images.
Symbian does support GIF Loading. Check out CMdaImageFileToBitmapUtility in the SDK docs. Animated GIFs are also supported although I never managed to get them looking correct
