Nikos,

You might want to look in the config.log to see why the expat isn't working.
I suspect things are getting mixed up with the version of expat embedded
in OGDI.  If you are building the OGDI from source, I would encourage you
to also force it to build against the system copy of expat instead of it's
internal version.

Good luck,
