[Mapserver-users] Help !!! Mapscript installation nightmare !!

[Vincent Schut]

D.,

possibly this is because php uses its own version of gd, which might be 
different from the one you compile mapscript with. This could lead to 
relocation errors. Try recompiling php with '--with-gd=/usr/lib' to make sure 
php uses the same gd as mapscript. Btw, you cannot use mapscript with php 
compiled as a apache module. You will need php as a cgi application, so omit 
the --with-apache option when compiling php. You can find (lots of) more info 
about this on the website/wiki at the install sections, and in the mailing 
list archive.
You might also consider using mapserver 4.0, which is the latest stable 
release and has a lot of added features and bug fixes. If you do so, you will 
need a newer gd, at least 2.0.12 but you'd better use the newest one, 2.0.15 
afaik.

Cheers,
Vincent.
