[Gdal-dev] building gdal on solaris

[Peter.Rushforth at statcan.ca]

Thanks for your comments.  I tried both 32 and 64 bit xerces.
The ELF business came about when I tried the 64 bit stuff.
The 32 bit errors, listed a bit higher up (below) give me
the undefined symbol messages.

I tried configuring with 32-bit xerces 2.3 but I get similar error
messages to the 32-bit 2.7 experience.
