[maplab-users] Failure to preview in MapEdit, failure to produce map in GMAP

[Ivan Kautter]

List Subscribers,

I am running msw4_1.0.2 with maplab and chameleon installed.  Tutorial map 
works perfectly.  I have edited my mapfile to resemble its format as closely 
as I think it should be.  However I get these errors with mapedit preview:

Warning: [MapServer Error]: getSymbol(): Parsing error near (LOCAL):(line 
81) in C:\ms4w\apps\maplab-2.2\htdocs\common\wrapper\map_session.php on line

Mapfile resides in its own folder in the same manner as the tutorial map 
file with data and etc folders at the same directory level as the tutorial 
folder.  I have tried to make it all exactly the same as the tutorial folder 
is set up.

Here is the map file.  I have no idea what I could be doing wrong:

What am I missing?  This is the closest I have gotten maplab to work, i.e. 
functioning tutorial map.  It would be really great if I could get this 
finally working.

The only GIS data in the map is a single shape file.  If I can't get that to 
work, I don't what I can get to work.

Thanks for any and all assistance.
