fontset tag kills map

[Robert Burgholzer]

Well,
"die" means, it just stops working, I get a [defunct] for the process in
my 'ps ax'. I managed to debug it though, through the use of the mapserv
CGI, for some reason I was unable to get any error messages via PHP
mapscript (this is an entirely new server install and I am migrating
from the old -- I would have sworn that my documentation of
configurations was impeccable, but, it turns out not to be so).

So, it was a simple thing, the fontset was inadvertently duplicated (an
errant paste a few lines down).

It is strange that I am getting no error messages though, although if I
RTFM more thoroughly, I will probably figure that out.

r.b.

Also, is this one particular font, or all of them?

What does 'die' mean? Seg. fault?

I am trying to use labels in mapserver 4.8.3 but even defining a FONTSET
tag
in my map file kills the initialization of the map in php_mapscript.
I can have a label layer, as long as it is OFF, but the minute that I
put a
FONTSET tag in my map file, or turn the layer ON, it dies without error.
Fonts are in the directory in question and have permission 744.
Any ideas as to what may be the trouble?

 

PHP is compiled with freetype support, as is mapserver:

 

Below is the message configure gives:

configure: checking where FreeType 2.x is installed...

        using libfreetype from -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64
-lfreetype -lz

checking for FT_Init_FreeType in -lfreetype... yes

        using libfreetype -lfreetype from system libs.
