[Mapserver-users] php_mapscript.so loading problem

[Vincent Schut]

Rudolfo,

(please reply also to the list 'cause others might either learn from our 
discussion or have more knowledge than I have :))

It appears that your php_mapscript.so links to a libgd that it (or the dynamic 
linker) cannot find.
What does 'ldd php_mapscript.so' give you as output? Probably a libgd that 
cannot be found...
Is the installation path of your libgd (probably /usr/local/lib) in your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or in your /etc/ld.so.conf? It should 
be, otherwise the dynamic linker will not be able to find it if mapserver 
requires it.
If it is, did you run 'ldconfig' (as root) after installing libgd?

Cheers,
Vincent.
