I am not sure what you mean by "'make install' target should be 
avoided." I never gave any target. All I did was 'make install' at the 
prompt. Are you saying I don't need to 'make install'?

Did that, and am now faced with the following...

Mapserv builds fine, but Perl/Mapscript refuses to. Croaks out with the 
message --

/usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/libmap.a is 
out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/mapscript/mapscript.bundle] Error 1


Any suggestion?
