Following Bill Kropla's "Beginning Mapserver"

[KevinC (UD)]

Hello, list.

I'm a newbie trying to stringently follow Bill Kropla's instructions on compiling MapServer in his recent book "Beginning MapServer - Open Source GIS Development".  My OS is Clark Connect 3.2, a Red Hat distro with a totally standard directory structure.

The strategy is to compile libraries step-by-step through each dependency, starting with zlib and proceeding to shapelib, then finally MapServer itself.

All of the libraries appear to compile into usr/local/lib as they should.  Then disaster: when I compile shapelib I get an error message that it cannot find Proj4, one of its dependencies.  But Proj4 is indeed there.

Does this suggest anything to anyone?  Mucho thanks in advance.
