Hi,

I've been trying to install mapscript for Perl from latest CVS on a
Fedora box.

Note that mapscript/perl/README provides swig command:

$ swig -perl5 -shadow -outdir . -o mapscript_wrap.c ../mapscript.i

-outdir is not a valid flag (swig 1.3.19)

...so I removed it and ran:

$ swig -perl5 -shadow -o mapscript_wrap.c ../mapscript.i

..and things worked.  Now, when I try to run a Perl script, I get
errors:

$ perl -Mmapscript -e 'print "hi"\n'
Can't load
'/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/mapscript/m
apscript.so' for module mapscript: libpq.so.3: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229.
 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/mapscript.pm
line 7
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

My system does not have a libpq.so.3, but I have libpq* in:

/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.4
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.a
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so.4.0
/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.so
/usr/local/lib/libpq.a
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so.4.0
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so
/usr/local/lib/libpq.so.4

Any suggestions?

Thanks

..Tom
