[Mapserver-users] Problems configuring Mapserver on SuSE Linux 9.0

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Christian,

I have never used SuSE so this might not apply, but on other 
distributions you have to install a dev package also to get the 
include files.

So if you package name for gd is like gd2 then try installing gd2-dev 
also and see if that helps.
