AIX compilation error

Hi,

Apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum ....

I hit the following error when attempting to compile xerces-p on AIX 5.2
with VisualAge compiler v5 any ideas? (Ignore the informational message
about compiler license - the system simply pauses for an annoyingly long
time, then goes ahead and tries to run the compile anyhow - I WILL get a
license one day ...)

You are attempt to build XML::Xerces-2.3.0 using Xerces-C-2.4.0,
this will most likely fail, so I am aborting.

You must use Xerces-C-2.4.0

Looking further into this We found the C modules were released on Dec. 2nd
and went to version 2.4.0. The Perl XML routines were release in early
November with a revision version of 2.3.0. The Makefile.PL in the perl
modules is looking for C modules with the same version as the Perl XML

persistent undefined symbols with xerces-p

Hi there.  I've been trying to get xml::xerces going, with no love...

It's perl 5.8.0, i686-linux-thread-multi-ld, with a rebuilt binary 
with the export-dynamic whole-archive stuff as specified in the FAQ.

Redhat 7.3, but with GCC 3.0.4, libc 2.2.5

I built xerces-c 2.3.0 from source, and that went just fine.

I've got xerces-p 2.3.0 and it builds ok, but the test gives me

Can anybody save me?

Hi Scott,

I would search the archives for this. I remember someone else on
RedHat complaining about a very similar problem a few months back. I
think we eventually found a solution.

Hi Hans,

I hope Martin Raspe or one of the more windows-able folks on the list
can explain this.

Does anyone know if the PPM package is completely independent of
libxerces.so?

Cheers,
jas.

Hi Tony,

Sorry about the bad error message, this is fixed in the lates version
of the code. It should say: "You must use Xerces-C-2.3.0". Because the
Xerces-C team changes the API with every release, minor version number
changes are often incompatible, so if you want to compile
XML-Xerces-2.3.0-x you must use Xerces-C-2.3.0 and not 2.4.0.

Yes, I haven't yet made an official release of XML-Xerces-2.4.0, there
are some important outstanding issues that I have not taken the time
to fix. 

You can either:
1) grab Xerces-C-2.3.0 from:

  http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-c/

2) grab the development snapshot of XML-Xerces-2.4.0 from:

  http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-p/nightly/2003-11-21/

3) wait until I can make an official release of XML-Xerces-2.4.0.

Cheers,
jas.

Nope, you got it right. This is the place for both user- and dev-
questions.

Hmmmm.... You are the first person I know of who has attempted this
OS/compiler combination, so we may need different flags for the AIX
hints file.

Nope, not harmless (damn Perl) - libxerces is not in you library
path. Even if you do get it to compile it won't link.

Looks like there is a #define conflict between Perl and the system
header files.

???

This might be a consequence of the first problem. Otherwise I'm
confused.

Cheers,
jas.
