[Mapserver-users] Error with Demo-Package

[Vincent Schut]

short answer: search the mailing list archives 
(http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wilma/mapserver-users) for 
'ctyhwy.gif'. This will give you plenty of messages about the same issue.

Longer answer: the demo is old, from the time gif wasn't copyrighted (or at 
least unisys didn't force their copyrights on it). Mapserver uses libgd to 
read/render graphics, which doesn't do gif anymore unless you have a special 
patched version (for which you officially require a license). The demo should 
be updated.
Workaround: convert the gif's to png and change the refenrence to these gifs 
in the map files to the new png files.

Cheers,
Vincent.
