Gregor, that got me a little farther along!
<br>
So ... I recompiled GD without Xpm. That worked and I was able to make
the mapserv executable.
<br>
Then I copied it to the cgi-bin directory in my account.
<br>
When I put the URL
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.alt2is.com/cgi-bin/mapserv">http://www.alt2is.com/cgi-bin/mapserv</a>?
<br>
into my browser I get
<br>
500 Server Error
<br>
A misconfiguration on the server caused a hiccup. Check the server
logs, fix the problem, then try again.
<br>
I don't know how to "check the server logs"
<br>
I got a copy of Tyler Mitchell's book and have been checking the
Mapserver installation chapter there.<br>
So I tried<br>
./mapserv -v<br>
The results was<br>
./mapserv: error while loading shared libraries: libgdal.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
Any suggestions anyone?<br>
<br>

There ya go -- your GD was compiled with Xpm support, but the Xpm
library isn't found. Try this:
<br>
ldconfig -p | grep -i xpm
<br>
That'll show whether Xpm is installed.
<br>
<br>
Alternative:
<br>
If you compiled GD yourself, and my memory serves, you can give
--without-x to have it skip X-Window stuff. You won't miss it. <span
