[mapserver-users] Please help with Python Mapscript module

[Ben Logan]

Perhaps no-one saw my last posts?  Or does no-one know what to do?

I'm trying to get the Python Mapscript module to compile/link.  I have
run the following commands:

gcc -c mapscript_wrap.c -I/usr/include/python1.5 -o mapscriptcmodule.o

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                                
2 on linux-i386

>>> import mapscript
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "mapscript.py", line 2, in ?
    import mapscriptc
ImportError: (Èd at R6/lib/libX11.so.6: shared object not open

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or is the Python module just
broken?

Thanks,
Ben
