[Ubuntu] Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer 6.0.0-beta1 release -Please test!

[Worth Lutz]

Alan,

 

Thanks for the ubuntugis repository.

 

It took me a good bit of trying today but I got Mapserver 6.0 installed
today by building from source.  I'm not sure I've got it all right but I've
got a working version for testing.  I'd prefer to just load from the
repository.

 

Could you add  "--with-cairo"  to the next build to allow pdf output.

 

Thanks

Worth
