[Mapserver-users] Configure: Same old error - can't find gd.h or libgd.a/libgd.so

[Tyler Mitchell]

You will need gd and gd-devel packages - got those already?
In case you are not aware, you do not need to use cygwin to run mapserver 
on windows.  Unless you have a particular reason for doing so, I would 
suggest that it is a waste of time when windows binaries are readily 
available for download and almost immediate use.
