problem with MapServer global projection

[John Daly]

All,

I'm a new MapServer user and list member, and I'd like to say hello to 
everyone.  I'm also running into a problem trying to create a global map 
projection, and I would appreciate any and all feedback. I'm trying to use 
the projection example in Web Mapping illustrated, but although I have Proj4 
support compiled in to MS, it does not seem to be actually using the new 
units and projection defined in my global.map file:

MAP
   CONFIG "PROJ_LIB" "/usr/local/share/proj"
   PROJECTION
      "init=epsg:42304"
   END
#  PROJECTION
#     "proj=lcc"
#     "ellps=GRS80"
#     "lat_0=49"
#     "lon_0=-95"
#     "lat_1=49"
#     "lat_2=77"
#     "datum=NAD83"
#     "units=m"
#     "no_defs"
#  END

I've tried both approaches, and neither works.  The verbose switch to 
MapServer prints out:
.
./cgi-bin/mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.10.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=GEOS 
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=SHAPEFILE

...and i'm using version 4.5 of Proj4.  both were compiled from source on 
RedHat 9

I do not getting any actual error message, just a failure to correctly use 
the new projection.  Has anyone run across this?  Is there an easy way to 
test if my proj4 support is not configured correctly?

Thanks,

John
