[mapserver-users] error: Unable to select IMAGETYPE `PNG'

[Lime, Steve D (DNR)]

You could create an output format named PNG to suit your needs. Not sure why that wouldn’t be there by default. I believe PNG would mean GD, 8-bit based output. AGGPNG24 should be defined by default and would provide the best quality.

Thanks Steve.

I had tried both, PNG8 and PNG24 but no luck. I am using MapServer 5.6.5 as I'd already installed the same version in couple of machines before and I did not get any problem. Could there be any other issue that I missed/overlooked?

Try PNG8 or PNG24 (assuming this is 6.0).

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a new MapServer in a Ubuntu 10.04 machine. I 've installed and configured all the necessary/required components (including libpng-1.2.18). While configuring MapServer, I have included libpng package as well and my ./configure shows:
configure: checking where PNG is installed...
checking for png_init_io in -lpng... yes
        using libpng from system libs.

However, while I check ./mapserv -v, I could not find OUTPUT=PNG and am getting the error: msPostMapParseOutputFormatSetup(): General error message. Unable to select IMAGETYPE `PNG'.

I am not sure what went wrong during installation/configuration. I checked mail archives but could not find the exact solution (but have tried for some of the solutions found in Web). Please let me know if you have resolved this problem.

Thanks,
Mukesh
