problem with 3.4

[Robert Ofarrell]

Here is an email that was sent to the list sometime before.  It should
explain the answer to your problem.  I also find it best to use the
symbols.sym from the GMap example.

The new version uses a unified symbol file format which means you can
store all symbols in one file. This allows for inline definitions (i.e.
within a mapfile) of symbols and more straight forward mapscript access.
Anyway here's what's needed to switch:

  1) SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET are gone and replaced by SYMBOLSET
  2) the keywords SHADESET, MARKERSET, LINESET need to be removed from
      symbol files, and so should the last END keyword
  3) you can "cat" them all together That should do it.
