[Mapserver-users] RH8 Mapserver4(3.7) compilation --with-regex=system error

[Bart van Heijningen]

Hi all,

I followed the following link for compiling Mapserver37 on Redat8

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RedHat8AndMapserver37

Altough I clearly copiled php with the --with-regex=system flag set (it
is also listed in phpinfo()!! ) i keeps giving the following error
mesg.:

checking whether we should use PHP's regex... yes
configure: error:
!!! The current version of PHP MapScript has some problems with      
!!!
!!! PHP4's bundled regex.  Until we figure the solution to the       
!!!
!!! problem, the workaround is to compile PHP4 with the system regex 
!!!
!!! Please re-configure and re-compile PHP4 with --with-regex=system 
!!!
!!! and then re-configure and re-compile MapServer.                  
!!!



PHP-4.3.1 is compiled with:

/configure --enable-shared --with-regex=system --with-gd=/usr/local
--with-ttf=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-jpeg-dir=/usr
--with-png-dir=/usr --with-zlib --enable-force-cgi-redirect
--enable-dbase --with-config-file-path

I use for mapserver:

./configure --without-tiff --without-eppl  --with-threads --with-proj 
--with-php=/r
oot/php-4.3.1 --with-gd --with-png --with-w3c-libwww
--with-freetype=/usr/bin --with-pdf --
with-ogr --with-gdal --with-ming --with-wfs --with-wfs-client
