[mapserver-users] line layer label angle changes

Fri Sep 20 14:26:05 EDT 2002

Combating the same problem with incorrect label angles (on FreeBSD), I also
recompiled gd with references to freetype-1.3.1, but the mapserver configure
couldn't find it.  The compile and make still ran, but the resulting mapserv
program doesn't recognize truetype parameters.  Suggestions?

Here's the configure command and resulting output:

./configure --prefix=/usr/home/gisweb/local --with-gd=/usr/home/gisweb/local --w
ith-freetype=/usr/home/gisweb/local/include/freetype --enable-force-freetype1 --
enable-runpath --with-proj --with-tiff
