GDAL / PROJ.4 On Shared Webhost

For the past couple of days, I've been putting hours into understanding Aaron Racicot's, 'guide to GIS on a shared hosting service'. This has been a great learning experience in working w/ SSH and a full mapserver install from the source. My goal is to host a Mapserver WMS directly from this site. I've got everything in place... probably not configured correctly, probably full of errors, probably will never work (w/o a healthy dose of patience).

I do however, know that I am on the right track, as GDAL/OGR and PROJ.4 are up and running.
