[Mapserver-users] Red Hat LInux Mapserver/Mapscript compilation

[Daniel Morissette]

Removing or changing MapServer's configure options won't help with this. 
  The root of the problem is really that the PHP configure 
--with-regex=system didn't work.  Usually this is caused by using the 
--with-apxs switch in configuring PHP but you don't appear to be using 
it.  There must be another PHP configure option that you use and that 
conflicts with the --with-regex=system but I have no clue which one it 
would be.  I would suggest checking your PHP configure output in case 
there is a message about this.

To tell if your PHP did properly select the system regex, you can look 
at php-4.3.2/main/php_config.h.  If you find a line saying '#define 
REGEX 1' then it's using the builtin regex (no good).  If you don't find 
that line then it's using the system regex and you're fine.
