[Mapserver-users] HELP ME WITH LINUX INSTALLATION

[Jeff McKenna]

Isaac,

You might find install instructions for your flavour of linux on the 
MapServer wiki at 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapServerCompilation.

Also, for windows, there is a package called MS4W 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml) where all you do is unzip to 
the root of a drive, start the apache web server included in it, and 
mapserver is ready to use.
