[mapserver-users] upgrade Mapserver 5.4 to 6.0 (gulp!)

[Chris Green]

Hi All

 

I have been running Mapserver 5.4 for about 18 months on a Fedora core 7
Unix platform. I installed it via the FGS installer package which made the
installation process relatively straightforward.

Now I see that Mapserver 6.0 has been released and it includes some features
that I really want to take advantage of, particularly the ability to cluster
dense features. My problem is that apparently the FGS package has not been
updated, so from the Mapserver website it looks like I have start from
scratch with a scarily long list of libraries and compilations required to
install Mapserver 6.0 from scratch. As something of a Unix novice I don't
fancy this very much!

 

I am wondering if there is a simple way to in effect replace my existing
Mapserver 5.4 executable with  Mapserver 6.0 - could I assume that Mapserver
6.0 only requires the same libraries as 5.4 and just compile the 6.0
executable? Any guidance on the direction to take here would be gratefully
received.

 

 

Chris
