Mapserver shp2img

[Frank Broniewski]

Hi all,

I've a problem with my mapserver installation, the utility shp2img isn't 
working. I get the following error when invoking it:

/usr/local/bin/shp2img: error: `/usr/local/bin/.libs/shp2img' does not exist
This script is just a wrapper for shp2img.
See the libtool documentation for more information.

I don't know what I shall do about that error now. On my Ubuntu machine, 
shp2img is a binary and not a shell script like on FreeBSD. While 
looking at the script, the error is invoked at the end of it (lines 205 
- 207):

189   if test -f "$progdir/$program"; then
  190     # Add our own library path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  191 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/ports/graphics/mapserver/work/mapserver-6.2.1/.libs:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LI
  192
  193     # Some systems cannot cope with colon-terminated LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  194     # The second colon is a workaround for a bug in BeOS R4 sed
  195     LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`$ECHO "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" | /usr/bin/sed 
's/::*$//'`
  196
  197     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  198
  199     if test "$libtool_execute_magic" != "%%%MAGIC variable%%%"; then
  200       # Run the actual program with our arguments.
  201       func_exec_program ${1+"$@"}
  202     fi
  203   else
  204     # The program doesn't exist.
  205     $ECHO "$0: error: \`$progdir/$program' does not exist" 1>&2
  206     $ECHO "This script is just a wrapper for $program." 1>&2
  207     $ECHO "See the libtool documentation for more information." 1>&2
  208     exit 1
  209   fi

This is rather confusing as I don't know what role the libtool plays and 
what I can gain from reading the rather exhaustive documentation ...


Any hints?

Many thanks,

Frank
