[Mapserver-users] PHP Mapscript Problem

[Paul Ramsey]

Yes, the moral of the story is: mapserver apps and mapscript libraries are 
STATICALLY LINKED against libmap. So it is not only possible but very easy to 
have a mapserv executable which is a different version than a mapscript 
library. This is not the first time this quirk has bitten us in the bum.
