[ms4w-users] MS4W for RedHat Linux

[Paul Spencer]

Hi,

MS4W is, unfortunately, for Windows only (MS4W = MapServer For Windows 
;))  You can use the MS4W packaging on linux by extracting the various 
applications to your root directory (or creating a symlink from the root 
to whereever you install it), but you do not have access to Apache, 
MapServer or any of the pre-compiled binaries.

If you can get Apache/PHP/MapScript/MapServer installed separately then 
you can use the MS4W applications (I personally use them on gentoo linux).

Cheers,

Paul
