[Mapserver-users] How to Install Mapserver on Debian woody?

[Andreas Delleske]

Hello there,

sorry, if it is a FAQ, but:

How can I manage to compile mapserver 4.0.1 on a Debian 3.0 (woody)- system?

Now, ./configure ends up with

All combinations I tried with

./configure -with-gd=/usr/local

or something failed.

maybe because gd.h is located /usr/include/gd.h
and libgd.a an libgd.so are located in /usr/lib/libgd.so or /usr/lib/libgd.h

GD 2.0 claims to be installed with the apt-get system

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Are there .deb packadges available? If yes, what do I have to do to 
install them as they do not seem to be part of the Debian- 
distribution?
