Greg, 

I haven't been following this thread too closely, but are you sure that
you want to use the unmaintained MyGIS option, or do you really want to
use OGR with MySQL support enabled?  I would go with OGR unless there is
something in MyGIS that doesn't exist in OGR.  

Here is Frank's page for OGR/MySQL:
http://ogr.maptools.org/drv_mysql.html

Here is a description from Howard's blog:
http://hobu.biz/index_html/mysql_ogr  

Also, look at the HowTos, there are a few items on MySQL.  

David.

Hi,

Thanks very much Maricris, Juan Carlos and Manfred for all your
suggestions! I will try them as soon as I can (unfortunately my
MapServer needs to be recompiled with the --with-mygis option, which
could take some time). And I will report results back to the list.

Thanks,
Greg Luker.
