The 'make install' target in the MapServer makefile should not be used,
it will just cause you trouble.  Now that you've used it once, just
delete /usr/local/lib/libmap.a and /usr/local/include/mapserver/map.h
and keep going with your build.  To install MapServer just copy the
'mapserv' executable to your CGI directory and the installation will be
done.
