Hans,

Building all components from source is certainly safer, and on unix it is
generally not that hard (in my opinion!).  The FWTools approach can work
too, but you are likely best either picking an FWTools that corresponds
closely with MapServer 4.10 (perhaps about FWTools 1.1.0?) or using the
current mapserver source with the latest FWTools.

Best regards,
