[Mapserver-users] perl mapscript on UNIX

[Lawrence, Kevin]

Yup that helps partly.  I can now see where the problem is.  For some
reason, even though I have removed the mapscript-4.0 directory and untarred
the source afresh, the /usr/openwin/lib/libtiff.so.3 keeps getting linked
into the mix.  Mapscript.so is of course using it.  This then yields the
error 
		symbol TIFFIsByteSwapped: referenced symbol not found at
/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/DynaLoader.pm line 169

used 
tiff.3.5.7 installed and in the LD_path
./configure  --with-tiff=/usr/local
make 
then the perl stuff 
perl Makefile.PL
make
-even here there is an issue when I do an ldd of
./blib/arch/auto/mapscript/mapscript.so

I am not sure why it keeps using the wrong library
