Components

3-Oct-2004 I am using these components currently

Web application API

Apache Web server 2.0.51 PHP 4.3.4

(Newer versions are available for both Apache and PHP but these work for me.)

Raster support

GDAL 1.2.3
GDAL is the "Geospatial Data Abstraction Library". GDAL is a translator library for raster geospatial data formats.

I built it with './configure; make'.

Vector support

OGR The OGR library is a subcomponent of GDAL so you don't need to worry about it if you install GDAL. The OGR Simple Features Library allows MapServer users to display several types of vector data files in their native formats. For example, MapInfo Mid/Mif and TAB data do not need to be converted to ESRI shapefiles when using OGR support with MapServer.

PostGIS

PostgreSQL 7.4.5-2 installed from RPMs for RH-9
