Re: GDAL/GML Xerces Build Problems on Unix

Don't sweat it, no problem at all. I tend to give up easily. ;-)

I'll try again today from CVS and let you know if I run into
problems...

Steve,

I owe you and a number of other frustrated builders an apology.  It
seems
now that the only place I fixed up support for more recent Xerces
libraries
was on windows.  The Unix configure script still had a bunch of stuff
that
could only work with Xerces 1.6.  Whats worse is I told everyone (like
you)
who ran into problems that I had done it, and they must have just not
installed something properly.

Anyways, I have finally stripped all remenants of 1.6 off my system and
fixed
the GDAL configure scripts to work more generally.  The actual driver
code
was already fine from my having gotten things working on Windows.

Everything is now checked back into CVS and should be in tomorrows
snapshot.

Once again sorry for everyone who has been pulling out their hair.

Best regards,
--
