Just for the record, I worked around the problem by pointing the PCL setup.py script to the mapserver source/build tree from the source package: $ apt-get source mapserver $ cd mapserver-4.4.1 $ fakeroot debian/rules build-stamp $ cd ../PCL-0.9 $ vi setup.py # edit the ms_home variable to point to ../mapserver-4.4.1 $ python setup.py build Thanks, Alessandro -- B-Open Solutions srl - http://www.bopen.it/ Sicurezza informatica e software Open Source su: -- http://www.bopen.it/newsletter/200502/ --
