More GD errors

What I've done with GD on Redhat is:

1) build and install the version I want as a  static library (there are
configure flags do this in GD)
2) hide the GD libs included with Redhat (move them someplace
temporarily)
3) build MapServer
4) unhide the GD libs (move them back)

Of course you could uninstall the GD libs that came with Redhat since
they are older and are of
little use anyway.

Hi,

I have switched boxes to a clean install of Red Hat FC2 to compile
MapServer (nightly build),
FC2 ships with the 2 series version of GD as required mapserver but
the
configure script still fails
to pick it up even when I use --with-gd=/usr/local

Has anyone got a (fool-proof!) set of instructions for compiling
MapServer?  This GD error
is a hurdle I can't get over!

Many thanks,

Norman Barker
