Yes, same as default install.

I tried changing the path to gmap75.map, no effect.  The really strange
thing is that it works the first time it is called in the browser, but

Thanks.  This is a good opportunity for me to learn the code, which I'll
have to do anyway.  I was just hoping that someone had seen this before
and there was a quick fix.

php.ini is the same as php.ini-dist except that the setting for
extension_dir has changed.

php configure:
'./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs'

mapserver configure:
