[Mapserver-users] Compile/library problems

[Andrew Covey]

Hello,

I am attempting to install MapServer via an account
with an ISP, who allowed me to install the necessary
support libraries (in my home dir).  When I attempt to
compile map server, I specify where the libs are -
just as ./configure --help specifies I should. 
./configure will, under no circumstances, acknowledge
the presence of the libraries I have compiled.  

I have had this compile problem with other Redhat
boxes, and Gentoo Linux boxes also.  Slackware seems
to behave well however.  Sadly, my ISP is using RedHat
7.2, and will not change distros just for little'ole
me.

Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to
compile in the libs I compiled and installed in my
home dir?  Need my ISP install the libraries instead
of myself for some reason?  Any help would be most
appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew C.
