Drew / Rob, 

I was unable to reproduce this error.  Is this working with the current CVS
source for MapServer or older packaged source?  The older configure logic 
was somewhat flackey, but I thought it was currently pretty bulletproof.  
I also tried with gdal 1.1.4 and the current CVS source. Both seemed to
configure alright, though I see that MapServer CVS requires GDAL CVS, 
since the GDAL 1.1.4 OGR support lacks a feature now required by MapServer.

I will prepare a GDAL/OGR 1.1.5 release soon to coincide with MapServer 3.5.

If you can provide more details on your configure problem perhaps there is
still something that needs to be fixed. 

Best regards,
