I thought I'd keep adding libraries to ld's commandline until I didn't
get undefined symbol messages anymore.  I got to

ld -o mapscriptcmodule.so mapscriptcmodule.o -shared ../../libmap.a /usr/local/lib/libproj.a /usr/local/lib/libgdal.1.1.so

and then when I tried to import the mapscript module, Python gave this
message:

Python 1.5.2 (#1, Mar  3 2001, 01:35:43)  [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat
Linux 7.1

    import mapscriptc

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ben
