   CONNECTION "couche_shp/lakes.tab" // (or absolute path) - linux plateform
sould be case sensitive -> .TAB
   STATUS ON
   CLASS

Hi,
When i want to view a vector layer in format Mapinfo (.tab") i have the
message
"msOGRLayerOpen(): General error message. OGR support is not available" and

In format ESRI(.shp) it works

In the mapefile i write:
LAYER
  NAME "lakes"
   TYPE POLYGON
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   DATA "couche_shp/lakes.tab"
   STATUS OFF
   CLASS
      OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      COLOR 255 255 255
   END
END

If i change the "lakes.tab" by "lakes.shp" i have the same problem.

thank for your help,

Bests regards
