I'm a new MapLab/MapServer user, so this is probably a basic question.
I'm having trouble labeling features in MapLab (attribute column = NAME), 
and I'm not sure why.  Below is a snippet of code from my mapfile, 
defining a particular layer:

LAYER
    NAME "New_York_County"
    STATUS ON
    DATA "./New_York_County"
    TYPE POLYGON
    UNITS METERS
    SIZEUNITS PIXELS
    #CLASSITEM "NAME"
    LABELITEM "NAME"
    CLASS
      NAME "New_York_County"
      TEMPLATE "ttt"
      LABEL
        TYPE TRUETYPE
        FONT "fritqat"
        SIZE 10
        POSITION AUTO
        COLOR 255 0 0
      END
      STYLE
        SYMBOL 0
        COLOR 252 241 207
        OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
      END
    END

When I uncomment out the LABELITEM tag, I can't preview the map.   If I 
comment out the tag, the map draws fine - just without labels.
I'm sure it's something really simple to fix.  Any ideas?

Windows 2000
maplab-2.1-rc3
mapserver 4.2
Apache 2.0
php 4.3.4

Thanks.   Kevin
