problem in compiling 4.8-rc3

[John Cartwright]

Thanks for your prompt reply, Sean!

Strangely, the problem seems to be explicitly giving the location of
some of the graphic libs (e.g. zlib, png, etc.) rather than letting them
be found on their own). Fomerly the configuration looked like:

./configure --prefix=/extra/contrib/mapserver-4.8 \
  --with-freetype=/usr/bin/freetype-config    \
  --with-zlib=/usr/lib                        \
  --with-png=/usr/lib                         \
  --with-jpeg=/usr/lib                        \
  --with-xpm=/usr/X11R6/lib                   \
  --with-gd=/extra/contrib/gd-2.0.33          \
  --with-proj=/extra/contrib/proj-4.4.9       \
  --with-geos=/extra/contrib/geos-2.1.1/bin/geos-config \
  --with-ogr=/extra/data/gdal-1.3.1/apps/gdal-config \
  --with-gdal=/extra/data/gdal-1.3.1/apps/gdal-config \
  --with-tiff=/usr/lib                        \
  --with-wfs                                  \
  --with-wcs                                  \
  --with-wmsclient                            \
  --with-wfsclient                            \
  --with-curl-config=/usr/bin                 

If I pull the configure lines for tiff, png, jpeg, zlib; configure finds
them in the system libs and seems to be OK.  Does this make sense to you?

Thanks again!
