Jordy,

Well, with MapServer 3.6, you're better off with GD 1.84 and Freetype 1 ...

Also, there's issues with RedHat 9 (More precisely GCC 3.x) and MapServer
...

Could you provide more detailed information on the errors you're getting ?

J.F.

Subject: [Mapserver-users] Compilation problems

Hi i'm running Redhat 9 with maplab2.0.1
i've been told that maplab does not support mapserv 3.7 and 4.0
i tried to install mapserv 3.6 but i am unable to compile it.

here is my mapserv configure string :
           ./configure --with-tiff --with-jpeg --with-zlib --with-png 
--with-freetype --with-eppl --with-proj=/usr/local/proj-4.4.7 
--with-gdal=/usr/local/gdal-1.1.8/apps/gdal-config --with-wmsclient 
-with-php=/usr/local/php-4.2.3 --with-gd=/usr/local/gd-2.0.15gif 
--with-ogr=/usr/local/gdal-1.1.8/apps/gdal-config

what should i do ??? what version of mapserv do i realy need to use.

thxs jordy

A few things to try:

You could edit the mapscript/php3/Makefile to change the "-rdynamic-Wl"
to "-rdynamic" only.

Another option would be to add --enable-internal-ld-detect to your
configure options since you use version 3.6.  This will trigger the use
of a new macro for the php_mapscript.so linking parameters that fixes
several issues of this type, this new macro is used by default in
version 4.0.

The short answer is that the remote WMS server didn't return a response
in an image format that mapserver can understand.  This can happen if
your WMS layer's CONNECTION parameter is missing some required
parameters and then the remote server returns an exception in XML format
which would then confuse MapServer (I know it should try to make sense
of XML exceptions, that's on the ToDo list, in the meantime, using
exceptions INIMAGE is recommended).

Perhaps if you sent your layer definition then we could help more.  BTW,
you write that you use MapLab, what did you do exactly in MapLab to get
this error?  Perhaps there is a problem with MapLab with your specific
server?

An additional observation today on this bug.  The Polygons for
all styles are being filled it is just the fill or color component that
is not being offset as requested in the mapfile or via mapscript. 
Here are two map file layer defs and the associated output
image:

LAYER

    name country

    type POLYGON

    status on

    data 'country'

    transparency 50

    class

      name 'country'

      style

        outlinecolor 255 0 0

        color 255 255 51

         end

   end

END

LAYER

    name countrytest

    type POLYGON

    status on

    data 'country'

    class

      name 'country'

      style

        offset 20 20 

        color 255 0 0

        outlinecolor 0 0 0

      end

    end

END

Looking at the image you will see that both styles fill the polygon - 1st
layer style color yellow + 1st layer transparency 50 + second style color
red  =3D the orange fill seen.

If you have ArcInfo and/or ArcView, the following link has scripts for creating tiles from Raster and Vector data.

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CreatingTiles

For mapfile info, check out the mapfile reference:

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc36/mapfile-reference.html#layer

Where do I find information about creating a tiling file?

Can it be made in MapInfo and then exported as a shape file?

Thanks

Thanks a lot Steve!
  I think I need to mention the problem a little more. I am working for
the state data center for Alabama and I need to Map Demographic
information provided by US census using MapServer. It's almost similar
to what Minnesota has done for mapping the same.
http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/php/census2000/c2000.html

I need the ability to create maps very fast and efficiently. The
MapServer installation is successful, but the only data I see on the
Census website are the TIGER/Line files. Can anybody from Minnesota
State data center or anyone who has done something like this before help
me?
With thanks
Abhishek

Subject: Re: [Mapserver-users] Using TIGER files

1) get a TIGER2SHP translator (products available for about $100)
2) Use ogr2ogr available as part of gdal library
3) Use gdal? in mapserver to display them directly (but very slow)

Did I get this right? Other options?

Good question, 
I don't think I have ever thought about 'locally adaptive' rubber sheeting.

Probably easiest to do by separating out the U and V correction

A 'simplistic' method might be to make two countour 'grids', for testing 
purposes you could use simple triangulated surfaces, where 'Z'  was the 
displacement in X or Y respectively of each control point.  Then by 
queryng the grids by the original {X,Y} you would get a {U,V} offset by 
interpolation, that can be used to determine the new coordinates.  
One trick here is that the new image wants to be constructed by triangles
and not points, think texture mapping

"you could use mapscript to create a new layer from your dbase file 
on-the-fly, and add this layer to the currently displayed layers."

Did anyone try this with mapscript & Java?
Or is it possible to work with a dynamic layer resulting from records (x,y ) of a dBase table? 

Assefa,

I had a look at the function that causes the problem under MS on Windows.

The query itself is executed with

$selrect = ms_newrectObj();
$selrect->setextent($minx_sel_geo, $miny_sel_geo, $maxx_sel_geo,
$maxy_sel_geo);
@$queryMap->queryByRect($selrect);
$selrect->free();

I use something like the following to print out the results:

1 $numResults = $qLayer->getNumResults();
2 if ($numResults > 0) {
3
4    // ONE ROW IN TABLE FOR EACH RECORD
5    for ($iRes=0; $iRes < $numResults; $iRes++) {
6        $qRes = $qLayer->getResult($iRes);
7        $qShape = $qLayer->getShape($qRes->tileindex,$qRes->shapeindex);
8
9        printf("<TR>");
10       // Print all OTHER COLUMNS from SHAPE
11       for ($iField=0; $iField < sizeof($selFields); $iField++) {
12           $fldName  = $selFields[$iField];
13           $fldValue = $qShape->values[$fldName];
14           printf("<td>$fldValue</td>");
15       }
16       printf("</TR>\n");
17
18       $qShape->free();
19    }
20    $qLayer->close();
21 }

As I mentioned in my last mail queryByPoint works fine. I can also
execute the 'queryByRect' and just print out the number of records. The
errors occur only if I want to print out the values for all found records
with the function above.

When I comment out the lines 7 and 18 and in line 13 just define a fix
string as value then everything works ok. So the 'getShape' method seems
to cause problems for results with plenty of records. I tested it with 2
different postgis versions, one on Linux, the other one under Win/Cygwin.
The error occured for both.

To make things even stranger, the error did *not* show up on a Linux
system and new compiled MS from nightly build (date: 22 July) with the
new mappostgis.c file. Here I used the same Postgis database as with the
test on Windows.

Hi There,

 I have placed a new version of php_mapscript_40.dll  (php4.3.2, latest
mapserver 4.0 ) at http://www2.dmsolutions.ca/tmp/php_mapscript_40.dll
that should correct the crah for the querybypoint. Can you give it a

try

and let me know (I will put a full distribution sometimes this week on
the usual download site).
 I am not sure though if It solves the second problem you mentionned
about "some records were not returned properly". Could you give need
more information on this so It will be easier  to identify the problem.

Later,

Hello,

I wonder if anybody else ran into the same problem with the current
version 4 beta2 and the PHP/Mapscript method 'queryByPoint'. Applying
this method on a map object with active PostGIS layers crashes the
php.exe on Windows, and under Linux one just gets a server error. A
similar problem happened when using 'queryByRect'. Here PHP not always
crashed but some records were not returned properly (or maybe only the
last one).

I tested the functions with the Win 4 beta 2 executable from 11 July
(from DM Solutions) and the beta 2 tar package compiled under Linux.

The

version 4 beta 1 was working fine with regard to PostGIS. Any ideas

what

happened?

Hi!
I play with wms these days, and find some troubles in
proj.
First, why proj data must be save on c:\proj\nad? I
have try use PROJ_LIB to point it to other directory,
but all get "msProcessProjection(): Projection library
error. no system list, errno: 2"

The directory C:\Proj\NAD is the default directory in Proj's makefile. 
I didn't bother changing it as it makes sense to me.  DM Solutions use
C:\Proj as the PROJ_LIB directory.  Perhaps, next time I'll change mine
to C:\Proj as well.

As for changing the PROJ_LIB directory, did you try adding a "SetEnv"
line in your httpd.conf?  Something like this should work:

SetEnv PROJ_LIB "c:/your/proj/lib"

I think you have to mind your slashes in apache.  Also, I appended mine
right before Section 2 of httpd.conf.
