[Gdal-dev] HDF4 and Xerces config questions

[Jack Varga]

Trying to build GDAL with support for HDF4 and Xerces and have 
encountered problems.  

System basics:
stock Mandrake 9.1using gcc 3.2.2.  Kernel is 2.4.21--0.13mdk.  cpu is 
athlon-tbird although uname -p fails to detect.  Assume that is because 
I'm using stock kernel. 

./configure --with-hdf=/usr/lib

...works fine, but as soon as I add another "--with-PACKAGE" option, 
configure fails to detect hdf libs...

Ichecking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lhdf4... no
checking for SDreaddata in -lmfhdf... no
configure: error: HDF4 support requested with arg /usr/lib, but neither 
hdf4 nor mfhdf lib found

Also, would like to compile in support for GML by using Xerces but not 
sure what to pass as ARG.  Currently using...

./configure --with-xerces 
--with-xerces-inc=/usr/local/xercesc/include/xercesc

.../but that results in...

checking for Xerces C++... requested, but compile or link fails!

g++ -o conftest conftest.cpp -lxerces-c1_6_0 -lpthread -ljasper -lgif 
-ljpeg -lpng -lgrass5 -lz -lm -ldl

conftest.cpp:1:34: util/PlatformUtils.hpp: No such file or directory
conftest.cpp: In function `int main()':
conftest.cpp:2: `XMLPlatformUtils' undeclared (first use this function)
conftest.cpp:2: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for 
each function it appears in.)
conftest.cpp:2: parse error before `::' token

That's definitely where its at...
