Supported SDE Version

[Howard Butler]

Eric,

It does work with 9.1, but there was an additional library that had 
to be linked in with the software.  MapServer 4.8 will have a fix in 
its configure scripts to grab this.

As for raster support, it was only tested with 9.0 (AFAIK, I'm the 
only one to *ever* get it to work in its current incarnation).  I 
only got things as far as making sure they work, and never tested 
them in any sort of production environment.  My intent, I think, was 
to have the SDE raster code that Pirmin wrote for MapServer act as a 
skeleton for developing SDE raster support in GDAL some day.  GDAL 
provides much more for rasters (reprojection being the most 
important) and we have been moving away from having raster driver 
support directly in MapServer and instead have used GDAL when 
possible for that task.

That some day hasn't arrived yet, and SDE raster support in MapServer 
is highly experimental and quite restricted (you can't reproject your 
SDE image).

Hope this helps,

Howard
