[maplab-users] mapedit preview and freetype

[Daniel Navascués Benito]

Hello Zak,

You were completely right, php was compiled against the gd library in its
ext directory. The fact was that a phpinfo() script after compiling php
with --with-gd gives you "TTF enabled" in the gd section, and this confused
me. After compiling php whith --with-gd=<system gd directory> and then
mapserver with --with-php=<system php directory>, and upgrading the
resulting php_mapscript.so in my /usr/local/lib directory, preview.php works
ok.

Thank you very much indeed

Daniel.
