UMN Mapserver

[dbh]dbh (apparently) - 01:43pm Jan 3, 2006 PST

Is anyone here running the UMN Mapserver on 10.3.x or 10.4.x?

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/download/current/
http://www.kyngchaos.com/macosx/downloads.php

I'd be interested in hearing setup and operation details, on or -offlist.

Re: UMN Mapserver

If you don't mind paying a nominal fee, it may be far less hassle to go for the installable set of GIS applications (GRASS, Mapserver etc.) available at

http://www.openosx.com/grass/index.html

Have fun!

It should be noted that OpenOSX has a somewhat questionable past:
<http://fink.sourceforge.net/pr/openosx.php>

    OpenOSX is a business that sells a range of CDs of Open Source
    applications. The GIMP CD they sell is based to a large part of
    Fink 0.2.1. Until very recently, the OpenOSX web site made no
    mention at all of Fink, and as far as I can tell, the CDs
    themselves still contain no hints. My impression (and that of many
    others) was that OpenOSX did all the porting - which has now turned
    out to be wrong.

    I was never contacted by OpenOSX about their usage of Fink.
    Instead, I was notified of the situation by a third party. What
    followed was a rather unpleasant e-mail conversation with OpenOSX
    owner Jeshua Lacock. The net result? We almost broke into a flame
    war and OpenOSX has slightly modified their web site to cover their
    tracks.
