[mapserver-users] how come drawMap works?

[Stephen Woodbridge]

I think I have an idea about this. There is a serious bug in the build
environment - when you build mapscript it does NOT link with the just
built libmap.a!!!! It links with the installed version of libmap.a if it
exists! The Makefile(s) for mapscript need to explicitly load
../..libmap.a so insure that the correct one is loaded.

Puneet, see if you have a /usr/lib/libmap.a or /usr/local/lib/libmap.a
and delete it then make clean; make and you will probably get the error.

Could somebody chnage the Makefile(s). I will add this to bugzilla.
