Python Mapscript

[Paul Scott]

Hi all,

I have decided to try my hand at a little Python Mapscript, after using
PHP Mapscript for about 3 years, but am having some trouble building it.

I executed python setup.py build as per the wiki instructions, but
received a ld error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmap

and then gcc exits.

Am I missing a library or something?

Mapserver is v 4.4.1 on RH9 (shrike)...

Alternatively is there a pre-built python mapscript somewhere that I can
use? I just want to try my hand at it for now...
