[Mapserver-users] Linux segmentation problem

[Hatcher Matthew]

Hi all,

I have compiled and built the latest nightly build of Mapserver 3.7 (or 4.0
as it announces itself) using Red Hat Linux 9.0.

I used the instructions given in the Wiki - for which I'm very grateful.
Thanks to the authors!

Mapserver and all the associated libraries compile absolutely fine - I used
the following options:
./configure
--without-tiff
--without-eppl
--without-jpeg
--with-threads
--with-proj
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin
--with-gd=/usr/local
--with-freetype=/usr/bin
--with-ogr
--with-wmsclient
--with-wms
--with-wfsclient
--with-wfs

./mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.0 (development) OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG
OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=OGR
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE


Running mapserv through a browser with no parameters works fine
(http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv). This returns the standard html saying
"no query information to decode".

However, if I pass any parameters at all, be they in mapserver, WMS or WFS
format, I get an internal server error. The error log says only "premature
end of script", and if I run mapserv at the command line by passing a
QUERY_STRING here, I get "segmentation fault".

Helpful. Anybody got any suggestions, or ways in which I can debug a bit to
find out what is causing the problem?

Cheers,
Matt
