I need a little help installing Mapserver 6.0.3 under Ubuntu 12.04 running postgresql 9.1 with postgis. I had it all working with old versions of everything on an old server. The hangup seems to be with freetype 2.4.10. After some reasonable messages, the freetype ./configure step dies with:
... cd builds/unix; ./configure /bin/sh: 1: ./configure not found make: *** [setup] Error 127 GD (version 2.0.33, which I found at bitbucket.org/pierrejoye/gd-libgd/downloads) actually seemed to compile ok even though freetype didn't. But then the Mapserver ./configure died because it couldn't find freetype. I'm not looking for anything special here (for now, at least), just a mapserv in a apache-accessible cgi-bin directory. It doesn't seem like I should have to compile it, not to mention several of its dependencies, but I can't find a simple "download this binary and put it here" method. The UbuntuGIS PPA method seems more mysterious than compile-it-myself method. I'm an application developer, and not a Linux wizard. Someone wanna hold my had a little here, please?
