Premature end of script headers...

[Jeff Portwine]

I actually did try copying all of the .dll's into the c:\windows\system32
directory, and I still was getting the error.    I've just started working
through the tutorials at http://terrasip.gis.umn.edu/projects/tutorial/ and
the first couple of examples are working fine.   However, running the
mapserv demo (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/demo_readme.html) gives me the
premature end of script: mapserver  error every time.     I'm going to
continue working through  the terrasip tutorials until I hit a point where
they fail and I start getting the error and maybe I can determine what
exactly causes the error to occur.

In Linux I got through the compilation but I had a lot of problems with a
similar error,  premature end of script.  Except instead of giving premature
end of script: mapserv, I was getting premature end of script: php.
There were a lot more complications under linux also, with so many
supporting librarys required,  having it attempting to load the wrong
versions of libs, etc.   This is why I decided to try a precompiled win32
version, because I thought it would be a lot simpler and I could concentrate
on learning how mapserver worked and then go back to attempting to run it
under linux with a little more knowledge of what I was working with.
