Dear Customer,
There is no server side limitation to paths. You may specify custom paths to
any library that you have need of using. The only limitation would be on the
library itself (whether it could be accessed from an alternate location) and
the program that needs to access the library.
So basically they are saying it must be either gdal's fault or MapServer's
fault that mapserver cannot access the gdal library from an alternate location.
Anyone care to weigh in on this?
I guess I am giving up on the installation of Mapserver on the hosted
website and will have to get some help from a GIS hosting service (or
set up my own web server). But it seems like this should have been doable.
Anyway, thanks for the help- I certainly learned a lot in the attempt...

I tried getting support from my ISP, but they are unwilling to help.
(mapserver? we don't know anything about that- ask the support forum)
Has anyone else had success or problems with bringing up MapServer on
a hosted website?

Well that's bizarre. How about this?
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home/alttwois/local/lib"
/home/alttwois/public_html/cgi-bin/mapserv.real -v
That's all one line. That sets the linker path on the command line,
then runs the command.

OK'ing the return receipt lets me know that my message was delivered.
Thank you.
