[Mapserver-users] pdf output

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Michael,

I think I remember running into a problem with libpdf that had to do 
with the fact that I had pdf support built into PHP and into 
mapserver/mapscript. In my case, the PHP used its own internal libs 
and mapserver used the system libs which resulted in crashing. But I 
think this was specific to php_mapscript. Currently ./configure does 
not detect this and prevent you from building a bad configuration. 

For details see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370

If this turns out to be your problem also please make a note in this 
bug so we can track how big this problem is for other people.

Thanks,
  -Steve W.
