What does this do:

shp2img -m /var/www/eunomi0/www/maps/eunomi0.map -o junk.png

if it crashes then report the output from this:

gdb shp2img
run -m /var/www/eunomi0/www/maps/eunomi0.map -o junk.png
bt
quit


You might need to reconfigure mapserver with --enable-debug and 
recompile and install it.

Any reason you are not using existing ubuntu packages?

apt-get install php5-mapscript

apt-cache search mapserver
apt-cache search mapscript

you might need to locate a ppa that has the most recent builds in them.

google: ubuntu ppa mapserver
