mapserver doesnt't see libgdal

["Peter Löwe"]

Frank,

thanks for the hint, it has been already tried and did not help:

If a wrapper is used, mapserv falls into some sort of an ugly infinite loop.

BTW: gdal-config is obviously aware of the correct locations of the libs: 
~/homemade/bin$ ./gdal-config --libs
-L/home/pacs/xxx/homemade/lib -lgdal

Still puzzled,
Peter
