RedHat9AndMapserver40b
The following are my build notes for installing !MapServer 4.0b on a new installation of !RedHat 9. This is based on the [wiki:RedHat8AndMapserver37] build notes, but modified to include newer libraries and make it fit my style of redhat installation. Some additions to the [wiki:RedHat8AndMapserver37] page may apply here.
One thing that I do on all redhat installations now is to install the port of "apt" for rpm-based distributions, available at http://freshrpms.net/apt/. When I did the fresh install of RH9 for this mapserver server, I did a fairly minimal install; really just enough to have ssh, httpd, text-based internet, and general development. Then I downloaded apt from http://shrike.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=650, installed the rpm and ran:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
to get all of the RH9 updates. As I run up against libraries or commands that are missing, and available in standard rpms, I then run "apt-get install 'rpmname'" to get things working.
I run all these commands as root, so be careful, particularly if this is anything like a production machine. When I use this, I have the text in window, and I cut-and-paste to my Eterm to run the commands. This could almost be a script, or group of scripts with a menu, similar to http://www.apachetoolbox.com/.

== Build Notes ==
# removed these and dependent rpms
# moved the following to the end: apt-get remove gd
# Reason: Too many dependencies on php caused the command to crash if php wasn't removed first G. Creager 2003-11-16
apt-get remove curl
apt-get remove curl-devel
apt-get remove php
apt-get remove gd
# already have following rpms installed
apt-get install freetype freetype-devel
apt-get install libpng libpng-devel
apt-get install libtiff libtiff-devel zlib zlib-devel
apt-get install libjpeg libjpeg-devel
