Hi All,

I want to have the user be able to mark a point on the map.
According to the cgi reference document, this is doable with a 
map_${layername}_feature...
argument. You just have to define the layer first in your map file. Fair 
enough, my layer looks like

SYMBOL
   NAME "circle"
   TYPE ellipse
   FILLED true
   POINTS
     1 1
   END
END

LAYER
   NAME reddot
   TYPE Point
   STATUS on
   METADATA
      ICONNAME "/mapserverdemo/selected.png"
      DESCRIPTION "Selected point"
   END
   CLASS
     Name "reddot"
     COLOR 255 0 0
     SYMBOL "circle"
     SIZE 1 1
   END  # CLASS
END  # LAYER

Mapserver seems to choke on this. I try to invoke it and get
MapServer version 3.6.3 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF 
INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=SHAPEFILE --> <BODY 
BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"> loadClass(): Unknown identifier. (1):(212)

I've tried a few permutations on the layer without any luck.
Can anyone supply a layer that works or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank 
you.

Eric.
