Hi Thomas,

Thanks - that helped me fix the problem. I used the following options:

./configure --prefix=$HOME \
--enable-debug  \
--with-gd \
--with-freetype --without-tiff \
--with-gdal=/home/david/bin/gdal-config \
--with-ogr=/home/david/bin/gdal-config \
--with-proj=/home/david/src/proj-4.7.0/ \
--without-pdf \
--with-png=/usr/ --with-threads \
--with-postgis=/home/david/bin/pg_config \
--with-wfs --with-wcs --with-wmsclient --with-wfsclient \
--with-php=$HOME --enable-debug \
--with-geos=/home/david/bin/geos-config \
--with-python \
--with-gif=$HOME

and received the following summary:

MapServer is now configured for

make: *** [shp2img] Error 1

Does anyone have a suggestion about how I can solve the following errors? I
read some very old bug reports with the following error suggesting that it
was due to the compiler version but I don't know if this is relevant.

Thanks,
David
