[Mapserver-users] HELP {Scanned}

[GONZALEZ, Jose A.]

Zoltan,

Can you tell me what my GD lines should look like in my Makefile?  I
think some of my issues may be stemming from those lines.  For example
my lines refer to gd-1.2 but I have the latest version which is
gd-2.0.27.  Also, this is a linux newbie question, When I download
tar.gz files, where should I extract them to?  And then all the
supporting libraries where should those be extracted to?  This may be
part of my issues.  I extracted them all to their own folders in
/root/downloads and then I configured/installed from those directories.
Am I doing this right?  Thanks again for all your help.

-Joe

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
