ImportError: Shared object "libmapserver.so.2" not found, required by "_mapscript.so"

libmapserver.so.2 is a symbolic link pointing to a nonexistent file [libmapserver.so.7.0.0]


I solved manually doing this:

# cd /usr/local/lib/
# rm libmapserver.so.2
# ln -s libmapserver.so.7.0.1 libmapserver.so.2
