Tiger Shapefile tiling problem

[Jeff Portwine]

I'm not sure but i'm pretty sure I had to install gd-devel when I first
installed the rest of the mapserver debian package.    At any rate,  if i
try now to install the libgd2-dev package it says it has to uninstall
cgi-mapserver, libgd2-xpm, mapserver-bin, and php4-mapscript.    After all
the trouble I had getting mapserver installed  and working, i'm not about to
let anything uninstall them..

Is there a debian binaries package available anywhere ?
