problem in compiling 4.8-rc3

[William Kyngesburye]

John, I see that /usr/local/graphicslibs/lib in there.  I take it you  
are using my Mac OS X Graphics Libs package as a base? for Mac OS X,  
that is.

In that case, MapServer configure checks for many libraries by  
looking for the static library (lib*.a), which I don't include in  
Graphics Libs.  You must change all lib*.a to .dylib.  Just to be  
safe, I do just the ones needed, here is the grep (find & replace) I  
use in BBEdit:

grep find: (lib(png|jpeg|gd|proj|pdf|Xpm)).a
replace with: \1.dylib


If it's just coincidence, sorry to bother.  It is odd that it also  
happens in RH, maybe that's the coincidence, similar builds? (ie no  
static libs)


PS.  I put a 4.8rc3 Tiger build on my site yesterday.
