Hans,

on this question you'll get as advices many  as there are 
linux-distributions.

There are some "HowTo's" explaining step by step installation of 
mapserver under different linux distributions
on the mapserver homepage: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto see 
"compilation"

There are not all really up-to date, but as a borderline, they are good 
enough.

If you want to hear my advice as well - Ubuntu or Debian is quite easy 
to install.

Regards, Till
