[mapserver-users] error building mapserver 3.6.3 on OS X 10.2

[Zak James]

Make sure that your gd and mapserver were built by the same 
compiler/linker as the linking process has changed somewhat. Are you 
sure that the right versions are being used by the webserver? I 
expected to have to recompile all the supporting libraries but they 
seem to work ok since I had stuck with the old 2.x compiler for 
mapserver 3.6.3.

Thanks for the tip on the wiki.
