Marco,

I tried this on my system and it worked.  My steps were:

1) Setup the environment.  At the shell (or in your bashrc) source the
    FWTools setup script.  This sets much more than just the PATH.

2) Configure MapServer 4.8.1.  In this case I explicitly include PROJ
    support.  If you don't, you will run into a problem due to a PROJ_LIB
    conflict, and you will need to clear the PROJ_LIB setting in Makefile
    by hand. I have fixed in this now in 4.9 CVS.

    ./configure --with-gdal=/usr3/pkg4/OpenEV_FW_Tree/FWTools/bin/gdal-config
                --with-proj=/usr3/pkg4/OpenEV_FW_Tree/FWTools

3) Build (ie. make).

Best regards,
