Success - Bill Kropla's 'Beginning MapServer' and Red Hat

[KevinC (UD)]

Mr. Kropla:

I am now serving maps from the 'ClarkConnect' Red Hat distro.  Basically, I experimented with the suggestions of Frank Warmerdam:

Edit root/.bash_profile

# This tells Red Hat explicitly where libs are stored

add : 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib'

save, reboot, then try:

% echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH  # should return '/usr/local/lib'

 

 

Edit etc/ld.so.conf

# usr/local/lib/ is not a 'trusted' lib directory and is not searched by ldconfig by default

# this tells Red Hat to trust /usr/local/lib/

add : '/usr/local/lib/'

save, then try:

    % ldconfig -vNX > liblist.txt  # will contain usr/local/lib/lib*

If I had listened to him earlier I would be further along, but I was hoping for a magic-bullet solution with no known side-effects.

Attached find my install notes as an MS word file.  I hope it has some utility for the next edition of BM:OSGISD.

I thank everyone for helping me become a stronger Linux nerd!
