Sarah,

You can check the mapserver version info to see if OGR support actually
got compiled in.  It should include "INPUT=OGR" somewhere.   If you don't
see that it seems likely that you either aren't running the same version
you built, or you didn't do a 'make clean' before a re-configure, or
the configure failed in some subtle way that disabled the OGR support.

Best regards,
