[Mapserver-users] re: icons that are gif

[Michael Schulz]

Hi,
the docs state that symbol images can only be png or gif. It seems you
try to use a jpeg.  See the docs:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/mapfile-reference.html#d45e1526

If you have compiled mapserver without gif support. See the docs:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/unix-install-howto.html#d45e146

Cheers, Michael
