[Mapserver-users] Perl Mapscript (with Mapserver-3.6.3) on Redhat 8 compiles, but returns __gxx_personality_v0 when tested

Tue Dec 17 12:23:32 PST 2002

Dana,

Thank you *so much* for the detailed explanation of how to compile perl
mapscript on redhat 8.  IT WORKED!!  In my case, the change was from gcc
to c++, but the result was a working mapscript.pm module. Both of the
example perl mapscripts run perfectly.  Hooray!

One thousand thanks!
Jonathan
