[mapserver-users] gd1.8.4

[Matt.Wilkie]

Something which has worked for me (a couple of revisions ago. It may not 
work anymore):

1) Download gif2png from http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/gif2png/ and run 
it on the ms_demo directory tree. Then go through all of the files in 
the demo (*.html, *.map, symbols\*) and replace any mention of .gif 
with .png

Or, 2) See the 'Common Error Messages' section of 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/demo_readme.html for commenting out the parts
of the map file which use gifs.

Hi 
I installed Mapserver 3.3 in my linux Red Hat 6.2 with GD 1.8.4, but the
demo didn't work: 
loadSymbol(): GD library error. 
This demo doesn't work with this GD version because it doesn't work with
GIF. 
I don't understand why a new version doesn't accept file extensions from an
earlier version. Is it true? 
I was looking for earlier versions of GD Lib to test my demo, and i found
the 1.6 version but it was not 1.6 really. 
Inside the file there were 1.8 version files and the trouble was the same. 
Can you help me? 
Excuse my short english.
