[Mapserver-users] can't install ...still

[Vincent Schut]

Dendi,

some things about installing mapserver:
- do not use 'make install'. It will give you trouble when you compile a newer 
version of mapserver later, as this new version will then link against the 
old libmap.a. Instead, just copy the mapserv executable to your cgi-bin 
directory, and eventual mapscript flavours to their apropriate dirs.
- A guess that you do not need - in fact should not - copy or move libmap.a 
and include files to anywhere. There are no applications that I know that 
link against mapserver and thus would need this, and it might give you the 
same problems as above mentioned when using 'make install'. AFAIK, the 
mapserver/mapscript binaries are all linked statically against libmap.a, so 
after compiling it is not needed anywhere. There are quite some posts about 
people having weird troubles upgrading mapserver, till they found out that 
some time long ago they once did 'make install' and that's why mapserver did 
not work anymore for them...
About getting started, there's a lot of documentation and examples on the 
website. It all depends on what you want and how you intend to use mapserver. 
Please check that out.

Regards,
Vincent Schut.
