Mapserver compile error on Ubuntu (solved... sort of)

[Matthew Perry]

Thanks everybody for the help. The problem was the two conflicting
versions of gdal in /usr and /usr/local . By removing the ubuntu
"libgdal1c2" package, I was able to compile mapserver fine. Of course
removing the packaged ubunut gdal libs means you can't use the qgis,
thuban or grass packages so these must be compiled against the local
gdal as well.

sudo apt-get build-dep mapserver
sudo apt-get install flex bison
./configure --with-tiff --with-jpeg --with-png --with-freetype
--with-zlib --with-threads --with-proj
--with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-wcs --with-ogr
--with-wmsclient --with-wfsclient --without-pdf --with-geos
--enable-debug
make
sudo make install

Thanks again,
