[Mapserver-users] perl mapscript 3.6.5 (SOLVED)



Guys, I think I got this solved...  When you are installing a private
version
of mapscript, there is a perl Makefile bug that must be manually fixed to
avoid conflict with installed version of libraries on the machine (in
/usr/lib
or /usr/local/lib)

In the perl/mapscript directory,

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/home/cto/usr/local
LIB=/usr/home/cto/usr/local/lib

*note: the PREFIX and LIB are needed to create your private version
and where /usr/home/cto is my homedir and my privatedir are is built in
/usr/home/cto/usr/local

perl MakeMaker will create a canned Makefile template... and if you
inspect the file, you will see:

 LDDLFLAGS = -shared  -L/usr/local/lib
 LDFLAGS = -Wl,-E  -L/usr/local/lib

and when change to:

LDDLFLAGS = -shared  -L/usr/home/cto/usr/local/lib
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-E -L/usr/home/cto/usr/local/lib

and then

make
make install

problem solved.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to override or
otherwise
effect the changes externally since perl Makemaker is responsible for
creating
the Makefile.

Just thought I would pass this info along to anyone else who might be
having problems with a private mapscript installation on a shared machine.
Apparently, its just conflicting with machine libgd.so in /usr/local/lib.

:>) That's a joke, right? Lutefisk and lefse of course, with any other 
pale-white-colored food on the side.

Actually there are lots of good restaurants in the TC (Minneapolis/St. 
Paul) area (our location is pretty much smack in the center, E|W at 
least, of the metro area). See www.visitroseville.com for local places. 
For Thursday night I'd just suggest you choose a place near the motels. 
There's Joe Senser's Sports Bar, Davanni's Pizza (local chain known for 
hot hoagies), Applebee's, Chi-Chi's, India Palace, and Good Earth (vege), 
to name a few within walking distance of hotels (that are acceptable).
