[mapserver-users] Compiling Issues: Ubuntu 8.04 -- libgd and gdFontCacheSetup

[Daniel Morissette]

As I wrote in a previous message, is it possible that you configured 
using "--with-gd=/usr/lib"? You should use "--with-gd=/usr" only and the 
configure script should take care of looking in the right subdirectory 
for each file.
