[maplab-users] Tutorial Raster Layer Using maplab-2.0-dev20030422 Not rendering

[Paul Spencer]

John,

a couple of things.  First, maplab is not yet compatible with mapserver 
37 so I am going to assume (hope) that the rendering issues are related 
to that.

The other questions are more applicable to the mapserver-users mailing 
list so I have copied it on this reply.  I would imagine that Frank 
Warmerdam wrote the piece in the RASTER-HOW-TO since he is the GDAL 
maintainer.

Cheers,

Paul
