Heiko,

I am not sure why gdalinfo is finding the raster, but it isn't found
in MapServer.  Are you use you are using the same GDAL for both?
Any possibility of permissions problems?  Does shp2img work for the
map file?  Are you depending on use of your .grassrc file that wouldn't
be found in the cgi-bin environment?

Most likely GDAL doesn't know how to use dlopen() in your build, and so
can't dynamically load libproj.so.  Does your gdal/port/gdal_config.h
file include "#define HAVE_LIBDL 1"?  If not, there was a configure problem.
This seems to be related to gcc 3.x inclusion of /usr/local/include in the
default include path.  Are you using GDAL 1.1.8?  I thought it was fixed in
that.  Perhaps you could try again with a nightly snapshot of GDAL.

Best regards,
