[mapserver-users] Trouble compiling 5.0.2 with AGG on Centos 4

[Dominik Schmid]

Hi Guillaume

thanks for the advice, somehow I hadn't tried that combination. I'm 
still not sure if AGG is going to work at all but at least Mapserver 
compiled.

In the next attempt I added some more options (--with-proj, --with-geos 
etc., as per instructions on 
http://www.darandandunguen.org/2008/02/01/como-instalacion-de-mapserver-5-con-postgis-en-rhel5howto-mapserver-5-and-postgis-in-rhel5/ 
about 3/4 down the page) and now configure chokes on OGR. I get the 
following error:

configure: checking whether we should include WMS Server support...
         OGC WMS compatibility enabled (-DUSE_WMS_SVR).
configure: checking whether we should include WFS Server support...
configure: error: OGC WFS Server support cannot be enabled: missing OGR 
which is required).

Checking the gdal config:
# /usr/bin/gdal-config --ogr-enabled
yes

Looking for the GDAL files:
# ls /usr/lib | grep -i gdal
libgdal.a
libgdal.la
libgdal.so
libgdal.so.1
libgdal.so.1.11.0
# ls /usr/bin/ | grep -i gdal
gdal2xyz.py
gdaladdo
gdalchksum.py
gdal-config
gdal_contour
gdalimport.py
gdalinfo
gdal_merge.py
gdal_rasterize
gdaltindex
gdal_translate
gdalwarp
# ls /usr/include/gdal | grep -i gdal
gdal_alg.h
gdal_frmts.h
gdal.h
gdaljp2metadata.h
gdal_pam.h
gdal_priv.h
gdal_rat.h
gdal_version.h
gdalwarper.h

So GDAL seems to be installed properly. Where else could the problem be 
located?

Thanks for any insight
Dominik
