[Mapserver-dev] Re: [Mapserver-users] PHP/mapscript and PNG problem

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

I am moving this to the dev list because I think I have run into a 
serious problem that someone needs to evaluate as part of 4.0.

Here is what I think the problem is:  There seems to be two versions 
of the libpng api although it is not totally clear to me, but if you 
built PHP-4.3.1 with-pdf and with-png then mapserver CGI works fine 
generating PNG images but PHP/mapscript dies in $img->saveImage(); 
call.

If I built PHP-4.3.1 without-pdf and without-png it works fine.

So what this looks like to me is that there is a conflict in the 
libpng api calls where PHP loads uses a version that is not 
compatible with what is expected by mapserver. Like the same entry 
point name but different argument usage - or some similar situation.

I was using MS-3.7-may02-nightly, I tried MS-4.0-beta2, but ran into 
other random crashes that I was not able to debug

Also, I built PHP-4.3.2 but it would not even run as a CGI, not sure 
what is up with that. It looks like PHP is trying to parse the php 
executable as the php script.

It does not escape me that I might (likely?) have some build 
environment issue, but since the system is RH8.0 with most stuff 
managed via RPMs, I not sure what would be foobar. I will look at 
this more today.

I would be open to other thoughts or ideas. 
I will forward my configure scripts when I get back to the office.
