[mapserver-users] Compilation/ESRI SHapeLIB

[Richard Ford]

I did do the ld.so.conf addition,

I did not know about the  /sbin/ldcong command.

As Stephen pointed out there is shape file support built in.  Will I still
need PROJ.  What else is PROJ used for and should I really consider it a
mandatory library?

Cheers,
Richard.
