[maplab-users] Maplab Install on Redhat

[Zak James]

That's a good point, Paul. I thought we had removed all the short tags 
from the code base, but I just did a search and ther is at least one 
short tag, though it is related to MapBrowser so it shouldn't affect 
mapedit. I'll patch it for release in a bug fix version.

Mark, the MS4W version has a pre-configured maplab.xml file while the 
unix version requires some modification before it will work. Still, at 
least the version # should be present in the unix version. Is it 
possible you have migrated a maplab.xml file from a previous maplab 
install? I think to get much further in troubleshooting, I need to see 
your maplab.xml file. You can send it off-list if you have security 
concerns, but there really isn't anything sensitive and maplab 
shouldn't be run on an internet accessible server anyway.
