Hi,

I have compiled mapserver 3.3-008 with GD 1.8 successfully.
Steve, you are right, GD has to be compiled without jpeg support.
Here the steps:

o in the Makefile of gd sources:
        - CFLAGS=-O -DHAVE_XPM -DHAVE_LIBTTF
        - LIBS=-lm -lgd -lpng -lz -lttf -lXpm -lX11
        - VERSION=1.8 # :)

o make libgd.a  

o in the Makefile of mapserver:
        - As described in the GD Section, add -lpng and -lz to
          GD_LIB for png-support and set GD=-DUSE_GD_1_6 
        - modify the path to libgd
        - #MAKE_GD=gd
                (to suppress compilation of gd-1.2 packed with the
                 mapserver)

o make

Thats it and it works fine for me (Since all other libs are available).

Regards,

        Frank
