[postgis-users] possible problem with PostGIS on RHEL8

[Paul Ramsey]

Please stick to the users list.

You might need to build mapserver from source. Or other components. Unless a packager has build EVERYTHING you want, the kinds of cross deps you're seeing to happen. I generally use packages from the PGDG yum repo, which mostly work, most of the time. But that doesn't include MapServer.
