A couple quirks with 9.5

[Frank Warmerdam-2]

Folks,

I'm looking to use FGS for a "stock binary" comparison for the benchmarking.
I did:

wget -q http://www.maptools.org/dl/fgs/releases/9.5/installer.sh
sh ./installer.sh
...
fgs install mapserver-base:5.4.2

At the end of the install I see:

* Module 'mapserver-base' installed with success.
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: No such file or directory
chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: No such file or directory
+ Starting 'apache':


The errors are a bit disturbing though they don't seem to have caused any
problems.  If I try to use mapserv, I find ming-lib did not get installed,
and I have to install it explicitly like:

fgs install ming-lib:0.4.2

Perhaps there is a missing dependency on ming-lib for mapserver-base?

PS. I'm contemplating working on an OpenEV package for FGS and providing a
self-extracting style FGS bundle as a replacement for my moribund FWTools
for linux distribution.  Any up front warnings about such an idea?  Where
do I get the fgs VM image that I understand is used for builds?

Best regards,

I guess you're on Centos. Some users report similar problem. I'll put an
effort to check that soon.

You're right about the dependency. Since the ming options is enabled by
hand it doesn't appear by default in the base.required file. I should
add a mechanism to handle such case.

It seems a good idea. I prepare a copy of the vm in its actual state and
put it on our ftp site. I'll send you the download link this afternoon.

Norm,

To confirm, yes, I'm working on CentOS.  It isn't a big issue so no need to
spend much time on it.
