Problems executing make for gen2shp

[Jan-Oliver Wagner]

Hi Johan,

you are gessing right that the path to the libshp is perhaps missing.
My first question is: Have you successfully compiled the shapelib package?
If so, there must be some library file.

Another hint: If you feel yourself familiar with the RPM packaging
system, you can download the src-rpm files of shapelib and gen2shp
and create new binary install packages for your Mandrake 9.1.
In case you are not familiar, but interested, I have attached a
html-file which will be part of the next FreeGIS CD release and explains
how to create binary packages yourself.

All the best

	Jan
