[Mapserver-users] MS 3.7 and RH 8 woes

[Gerry Creager]

Lowell,

Thanks.  It all helps, even if it's not fixing the problem.  At least 
I'm starting to get a better handle on this stuff!

This is is what I had:
my $shape = new shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_LINE);

Replaced with:
my $shape = new mapscript::shapeObj($mapscript::MS_SHAPE_LINE);

And it yielded the same error.  I'm sure it's someting fundamental.  I'm 
just _lost_ at this point.

TIA, gerry
