Good to hear you got it compiled. Is the mapserv CGI program working or
do you get the same error messages as the PHP/Mapscript? If so, the
library (libgeos.so.2) you're linking to isn't in your system paths. If
you want you can just symlink to the newer libgeos in /usr/lib (or
/usr/local/lib), ex: ln -s /usr/lib/libgeos.so.3.0.0
/usr/lib/libgeos.so.2. I have a feeling that another library is linked
to the old libgeos.so.2 (gdal or postgis, perhaps) so you might want to
recompile those with the new GEOS.
Good luck!

Perry,
OK, so far so good. Your suggestion fixed the build problem, and it appears
to be installed. I got rid of all older packages of GEOS, including in
/usr/lib, and took care of the ld.so.conf issues. I am now trying to get PHP
mapscript up and running, but am having a problem.
I had to create an "extension" directory where I built PHP
/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extension
I copied the php_mapscript.so file to this location, added the directory
path to "extension_dir" in php.ini, and restarted apache.
When I include the following in a *.php file
dl('php_mapscript.so');
I get these errors:
Warning: dl() [function.dl]: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/local/php5/lib/php/extension/php_mapscript.so' - libgeos.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory in
/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/hello.php on line 3
Obviously something to do with shared objects, and am guessing it had
something to do with a configuration option in either PHP or Mapserver????
Thanks a million, Bill
