Tim,

This problem typically means that AGG was not built with -fPIC.  Object
code built without -fPIC cannot be used to build a shared library (like
php_mapscript.so) but will still work fine when linked statically into an
executable (like mapserv).  There is nothing that MapServer can do in it's
build system to solve this problem.  You just have to go back to AGG and
built it appropriately which it doesn't make terribly easy.

Best regards,
