[mapserver-users] Problems with using demo and newer GD/newer Mapserver

[Lyndon Zimmermann]

Greetings all,

I got the demo to start by referring to the highway shields directly,
not via the symbols.sym file but I'm still having trouble with the
symbol file using ms34 under NT, png format on my "real" project.

I've converted the gifs and references to png and concatenated SHADESET,
MARKERSET AND LINESET into SYMBOLSET.  Beau Gunderson "still had to edit
it [ie SYMBOLSET] to get it to work" in his email 28 June, but gave no
details of what this editing involved.  David Armstrong forwarded his
symbolsms34.sym file to me, but it appears to be just the concatenated
files.

Any clues?

Error message from MapServer:

msLoadMap(): General error message. Undefined symbol "s9" in class 0 of
layer pwr_all.

I don't know whether it is specifically picking on s9 or whether this is
the first symbol it comes upon.
