[Mapserver-users] MapSever41 with PostGIS?

[Mike Leahy]

Hello all,

I'm wondering if there is a copy of the latest development version of 
MapServer/MapScript 4.1 compiled with the PostGIS option - or if one could be 
compiled sometime in the near future.  I just downloaded the binaries that are 
available from http://www.maptools.org/php_mapscript/index.phtml?
page=downloads.html.  According to the changes in HISTORY.TXT, a problem that 
I have had trouble with for quite some time when trying to update PostgreSQL 
and PostGIS has been solved (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?
id=418).  However, PostGIS was not included when the latest development 
package I found on the page above was compiled.  I have an earlier version of 
4.1 from last September, but it definitely does not include the fix for the 
bug I mentioned.

The spatial functionality of later versions of PostGIS (now up to 0.8.1) far 
exceeds 0.7.5. Despite many attempts, I have yet to be fully successful at 
compiling MapServer and MapScript on my own, so I can only wait for binaries 
to be released.

I appreciate any help that can be offered, Kind regards, Michael Leahy
