[Mapserver-users] Installation: Couldn't find gdal-config

A few things to check:
- Did you verify that /usr/local/bin/gdal-config exists and is executable?
- Did you 'make install' on your new GDAL build?
- Are you using mapserver 4.0-beta2 (July 11) or more recent?  There 
were some improvements to the code to locate gdal-config in that version.
- Try using
   ./configure ..... --with-ogr --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config

If none of the above helps then I think you will have to send your 
configure options to the list.
