[GRASSLIST:4550] Re: grass and Mapserver

[Ljiljana]

So, if I understood it right, grass aplication does not have anything to do 
with mapserver. Mapserver comunicates with grass-gis layars only using 
libgrass.
I have read something about changes in gdal-1.2.3 ( I had to configure 
it --with-libgrass, not --with-grass, as later versions).
Can Mapserver with gdal-1.2.3.work with grass without libgrass (somehow 
colecting the libraries for displaying grass directly from the grass) ?
Best regards
