I want to take a look at dLegend in the dBox package but dBox (and presumably dLegend) requires either Perl or Python mapscript to be installed with MapServer. I've forgotten how to check if, or which, mapscript is installed. When I try ./mapserv -v from the cgi-bin directory, mapscript isn't among the results, but I don't know if this means it's not installed or if I need to use another method to determine the mapscript availability. I probably wouldn't have installed a Perl version and definitely wouldn't install a Python version because I don't know these environments well. I don't remember if I tried the PHP version., but I'm not finding any evidence that PHP mapscript is installed either. I just want to know how to make sure what's in and what's not.

I'd appreciate any suggestions you can offer.


Thanks,

The program mapserv is not required for mapscript. To find out if its in php, view the php info, which is easiest with a page like:

<?PHP
   echo phpinfo();
?>

To see if its in perl, at a command line, type:

perl -Mmapscript -e ''

if nothing happens, your golden, otherwise you'll get an error saying it cant locate mapscript.pm.

dunno about python.
