Flash vs. MapScript support

[Mike Leahy]

Hello list,

I'm putting this question forth again to see if it will catch anyone's
eye the second time around.  Basically, as described below, if I compile
MapServer on Linux with flash support, something happens to the
php_mapscript.so that prevents it from being loaded by PHP.  Would
anyone have any ideas of what I should look for to work around this?

Regards,
Mike
