Hi, I'm trying to build LCDRoot 3.5, and have encountered what seems to be a difficult obstacle: the configure script will not recognize my xml4c directories (xml4c-incdir and xml4c-libdir) as valid. In other words, it can't find the files specified in "configure" that cause the (necessary) xml4c feature to be enabled. Namely, the configure script is looking for files associated with xml4c version 4.4.0. However, the current xml4c version, the only one available from [http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/aw.nsf/techs/xml4c], and hence the one I've downloaded, is version 5.2.0. Due to changes in xml standards, some of the files previously included under include/xercesc/dom/ in xml4c are now included under include/xercesc/dom/deprecated/, and the numbering scheme for the xerces library is now different, in addition to being different numbers (current is libxerces-c.so.22, configure wants libxerces-c1_6_0.so). Obviously, I can somewhat easily "fix" this problem by hacking the configure script to look for the new files, but whether or not it will do me any good depends on how LCDRoot actually uses the xml4c package. Will LCDRoot be able to properly find _and use_ the includes and libraries from xml4c-5.2.0, given that I edit their names and locations in "configure"? Also, will the xml-ified detector specifications still work the same way if I actually get this all installed, or will I need to account for xml version differences? Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks! Jamie Hegarty [log in to unmask]
