Hi there,

I seem to be having problems with PROJECTION while running the Mapserver
tutorial. i'm getting the error message:

loadProjection(): Projection library error. Projection support is not
available

it was suggested that i need to install PROJ4, i have and now i get the
error message:

Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request.
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: mapserv

when i try to access the PROJ4 file on the linux server it doesn't work.
we get the httpd error log as below:

<error log>
error_log:[Fri Jan 09 14:53:45 2004] [error] [client 192.168.0.250]

</error log>

<system>
root at hpfm01 httpd]# locate libproj.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0.4.1
/usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0
</system>

we configured and compiled mapserver with the proj4 as instructed on the
instal but it doesn't work?

any suggesstions would be greatly appreciated.

regards
