[Gdal-dev] gdal config icluding xerces

[Daniel Isenegger]

Hi

i have installed grass57 on suse9.1 and want to use gdal for the 
grass-commands v.in.ogr and v.out.ogr. When applying v.out.ogr xerces is 
needed by gdal.

when compiling gdal to use xerces i get the following errors (2 
different tries in the following):

- when using xerces 2.1.0 (built from source):

./configure --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-5.7.0 
--with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-xerces 
--with-xerces-inc=/downloads/xerces/xerces-c-src2_1_0/include 
--with-xerces-lib="-L/downloads/xerces/xerces-c-src2_1_0/lib -lpthread" 
--with-odbc=/usr/local/lib --with-static-proj4=/usr/lib/libproj.so | tee 
configure_disen.log

...

- when using Xerces 1.6.0 (binary):

./configure --with-grass=/usr/local/grass-5.7.0 
--with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-xerces 
--with-xerces-inc=/downloads/xerces/xerc./configure

--with-xerces-lib="-L/downloads/xerces/xerces-c1_6_0-linux/lib

- with xerces 2.1.0: the file util/PlatformUtils.hpp is there
(The environment variables XERCESROOT, PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set to 
the appropriate directories)
- with xerces 1.6: what is the difference in the error message? coming 
from the same problems?
- how to solve them?

I browsed trough the archives and found similar errors, but no 
suggestions to fix them (:-(

Any ideas?

Thanks Dani
