I recompiled the PROJ4 libraries using the following commands and 
received no errors:

./configure --prefix=/home/sgoody/install

make install

Then I proceeded to recompile mapserv using the following commands 
and also received no errors:

./configure --with-jpeg --with-gd --with-freetype 
--enable-force-freetype1 --with-zlib --with-png --with-tiff 
--with-proj=/home/sgoody/install 
--with-wmsclient=/home/sgoody/install/bin --enable-runpath

make all

However when I try to use the WMS client I still receive the following error:

msProcessProjection(): no system list, errno:13

Thanks.
