[Mapserver-users] HELP {Scanned}

[Siki Zoltan]

Hi,

Something strange happend to you.
1st
Check wheather mapserv refere to libpngxx.so. Use the ldd command

ldd mapserv

You will get a long list of shared libraries used by mapserv.

2nd
Try to force to configure png format --with-png=DIR
You can see all the swithes of configure with
./configure --help

Bye
Zoltan
