[Mapserver-users] Configure --with-system-regex

[Vincent Schut]

Gerard,

Have you checked what your phpinfo sais about php's regex? You can check 
whether your php *really* is using the system regex by looking in 
your phpinfo output: in the 'Standard' section, it should say:

Regex Library                   System library enabled

Mind that you should check the phpinfo page using the php version that 
mapserver will also use (e.g. the cgi version). (Eventually call your php 
page containing the phpinfo statement info.phpms or whatever suffix you have 
defined for your cgi version of php, if you defined a separate one).
If there is something different than 'system library enabled', your php was 
*not* compiled with the system regex library and you should check the 
configure output of php to find the reason why it ignores your regex=system 
option.

If it *does* say php is using the system regex, maybe after compiling your 
php-cgi, you recompiled php as an apache module (or 
some other SAPI) using another regex? This, when you do a make install, 
changes the header files 
of php and the php-config, so that mapserver only sees the last compiled 
version of php. You should either compile the cgi last, or use a different 
install directory for the cgi version (e.g. /usr/local/phpcgi ). You can set 
this with some prefix option(s) in the configure options. I am using the last 
option myself (separate directories) which enables me to do separate 
compilations of whatever type of php without having to bother about mapserver 
using the wrong header files. Make sure though that the php ./configure 
option for mapserver is pointing towards the right php-config executable. 
Otherwise it will find the one that is first in the path, which might be the 
one belonging to the module version.

Btw have you checked the 
'http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat8AndMapserver37' 
wiki document? This contains a lot of pointers towards compiling a proper 
mapserver environment (including php) on linux.

Regards,
Vincent Schut.
