Carlo,

Did the demo work with the parcels?

Not exactly sure why you're getting this error.

The documentation is a great place to start.  Search the email archive
can help too.  I did a quick search for "ms_shapeObjFromWkt" on
nabble, http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/GeoMOOSE-f5002154.html and
found this thread
(http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-users/2011-March/002996.html)
where someone else had a similar problem.  They were able to solve it
by using a more recent MS4W.

Are you using MS4W?  Which version?  Which version of GeoMoose are you
using?  Which version of MapServer are you using (on the command line
with the proper environment, you should be able to run mapserv -v to
find this out.)  I think in general this should all work with
current-ish versions (GeoMoose 2.6+, MapServer 6.0+, and/or MS4W
version 3.0.x+)

I hope that some of this helps.
