[mapserver-users] Problem making mapserv on Linux with fribidi

[Jackey Cheung]

Greetings!

We've tried to build MapServer on our Linux test server, and it goes fine
with no error reported. However, when we put it to test, all Arabic words
are broken but the character sequence is correctly ordered from right to
left (attached jpg).

We've tried to download the latest version from MapServer's and FriBidi's
official site and done it again, still no success.

The box is a CentOS 5.1, and here's the command line we've used:
./configure \
--with-jpeg \
--with-png \
--with-freetype \
--with-proj \
--with-geos \
--with-ogr \
--with-gdal \
--with-curl \
--with-tiff \
--with-gd \
--with-libiconv \
--with-zlib \
--with-xpm \
--with-agg=/usr/local/agg \
--with-grass \
--with-httpd=/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd \
--with-php=/usr/local/php \
--with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config \
--with-fribidi-config=/usr/local/lib/pk


and here's the mapfile:
