[mapserver-users] WMS layer is blank

OK, thanks.  I've been trying to compile 3.7 but run into a consistent 
error (see below).  Seems to be a problem with mappdf from libwww.  I'm 
compiling against libwww-5.4.0.  Any suggestions?  3.6.3 compiles just 
fine using exactly the same configuration.

Thanks,
Dylan
