Now that I think about it more, it may not be the perl module itself - 
it just shows up as a perl error because you're using perl MapScript.  
It could be libmap, that mapscript and mapserv cgi use.  Again, have 
you tried running the demo with mapserv CGI?

Whatever the case, it's still strange that mapserver is building at 
all.  Hmm, I did notice something with proj.4 once - when updating (I 
forget which version) the library name changed as well 
(libproj.x.x.dylib), and the older version was left behind.  This 
normally shouldn't be a problem (I didn't notice a problem) but maybe 
mapserver got confused (somehow) after building about which version to 
use.

Ah, found it - I didn't look on the right wiki page.  Yes, I remember 
looking at the Wheaton's instructions once, but at the time they were a 
bit out-of-date, even now it's out-of-date (new: gd 2.0.x, proj 4.4.7, 
php 4.3.2, mapserv 4.0).  I followed the proj link to the 
remotesensing.org archive, and it looks like those errors are from 
Apple's cpp-precomp, and the usual way to fix it is to use 
-no-cpp-precomp in the CFLAGS env (setenv CFLAGS -no-cpp-precomp), but 
I don't think I ever had to do this for proj.4.

you had to do that for proj.4 to build?  odd.
