[Mapserver-users] Stile problem with SWF and fdb fonts

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I ran into the problem of php_mapscript.so and php_ming.so not being 
compatible and I believe this problem is related to the fact that one or 
both of these is using a private copy of the libpng and one is using the 
system version. I think I wrote a bug on this, you might want to check 
bugzilla.
