Well it is still not working i got the  itasca3.5 demo
the  demo_init produces this on mac osX
msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol 
"symbols/ctyhwy.gif" in class 0 of layer roads.

and demo.html produces
msLoadMap(): Unable to access file. Illegal mapfile name.

This tmp directory has to have write permissions but for who? i gave it
user www rwx group www rwx  others r x
maybe i need user nobody i dont't know how httpd deals with its www 
documents?
