Can't create appender under Redhat Enterprise Server (k 2.4)

I am developing a cross platform system using Log4Cxx, CppUnit, Boost and 
STLPort. Under Linux I'm using Gcc 3.3.4 and under Windows VC7.1.
Under Windows it all works pretty well, after some sleepless nights, but under 
Linux, Log4Cxx can't find any of the Appenders. I've trimmed the program down 
to just Log4Cxx, and still no go. I trimmed the Config file down to the root 
logger, my logger, and two appenders, a FileAppender and the ConsoleAppender 
using the DOMConfigurator.

I turned on Internal debugging and added some LogLogs to try and figure out 
what is going on (see below, I trimmed out my mesages), and what I see is the 
there are no appenders in the registry map, but they get added after I ask for 
them. Even so, I can't create appenders (I hoped that after getting them into 
the registry, things would work out, but no dice.)
