MapScript SetSymbolSet

[Christopher Condit]

Hi Julien-
Thanks for your response.  Here are the contents of the symbol file:
SYMBOLSET
  SYMBOL
    NAME 'circle'
    TYPE ELLIPSE
    POINTS 1 1 END
    FILLED TRUE
  END
END

The problem I'm having is intermittent and I can't reliably reproduce
it.  My only thought was that for some reason mapscript couldn't read
the file.  Is there any way to embed these symbols directly in the
mapfile instead of referencing the symbolset file?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi,
This kind of error is usually returned when an illegal word is in the 
symbolset file. Check at the first line of:
C:\absolute\symbol\path.sym

Is there anything special?

If not, can you provide a minimal test script to reproduce the error?
