Hi all, I am trying to install mapscript for perl and run into the
following error: [terminal: ]$ perl -e 'use lib
"/web/cgi-bin/Progs/lib/5.6.0/i386-linux"; use mapscript; my $map =
new mapObj("DBs/MapData/world.map"); if ($map == null) { print
"UTOH!";} else { print "IT WORKS!";}' Unfortunately, I keep getting
"UTOH", indicating I have a null pointer instead of a mapObj object.
So far I have: a) verified that the world.map file is in the proper
location
b) checked permissions
c) rebuilt mapscript.pm after re-swigging. Note, I am building with
an older version of MapServer, a version from 1999, because I heard
that MapServer 4 maps may not be fully compatible with mapserver 3
data. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Gabe,
Here is a sample for 3.6.1:
perl -we 'use lib "/web/cgi-bin/Progs/lib/5.6.0/i386-linux"; use
mapscript; my $map = new mapObj("DBs/MapData/world.map") or
die("UTOH!"); print "IT WORKS!";
HTH
