[Mapserver-users] configuration on chroot'ed system

[Daniel Morissette]

This looks like the symptoms of a problem we used to have when 
MapServer's broken 'make install' was used.  The 'make install' target 
has been replaced in the Makefile in the latest 3.6.x and 4.0 versions.

Ask the ISP to look for an old /usr/local/lib/libmap.a and delete it, 
then link php_mapscript.so again and it should link with the correct 
libmap.a, the one that he just compiled.
