[Mapserver-users] Error on import mapscript in Python with Mapserver 4.2.1

[Björn Platzen]

Hello List,

I just installed mapserver 4.2.1 and Python-Mapscript.

When I try

import mapscript

I get the following error:

>>> import mapscript
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "mapscript.py", line 5, in ?
    import _mapscript
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_mapscript.so: undefined
symbol: gdImageSetClip

MapServer/Mapscript is installed with gd-2.0.27, Python 2.2 on a SuSE
Linux 8.0 Machine.

Before, I had Mapserver/Mapscript 3.6.5 installed and running. 

I hope, anyone can tell me, whats going wrong.

Thanks in advance,

Bjoern
