[Chameleon] Getting the samples working

[Paul Spencer]

sounds like an issue with freetype.  It is entirely possible that 
shp2img is compiled with a different version of freetype than 
php-mapscript, or that php and php-mapscript are compiled with different 
versions.  This is often a problem with php-mapscript in general.  You 
have to make sure that your php and php-mapscript are built with 
identical versions of the various libraries.

You can probably get more help on this on the mapserver-users list
