Hey folks I'm trying to rebuild all of the mapserver dependencies and
I'm getting .h not found errors. The header files all seem to be in

I didn't do make install with any of these because I don't want to
change my base system environment. What do I need to change to get
mapserver to look for the includes? Some option to configure I'm missing?
I want to set up a multi-version build environment so that I can have
the current version libs, betas, and a sandbox type of lib set.
I'm building 4.8.1 on RHE
I appreciate any assistance.
I would use a separate area (like /opt) where you can fully install the
packages without affecting the base system. When compiling each package
use the --prefix option to indicate the "make install" target (e.g.,
--prefix=/opt ). When compiling subsequent packages you will need to
define options such as --with-png=/opt --with-gd=/opt, etc. to point to
the installed files you want to build against.
Or you could probably just point mapserver to the compiled source for
each package (e.g., --with-png=/home/gail/ms/source/libpng-1.2.8). I
prefer the first approach.
