[gdal-dev] Problems building 1.6.0 with Xerces 2.7 on Solaris 10 / Sparc (1.5.x work)

[Peter J Halls]

Got it: the problem proved to be libtool!  I've successfully built a working 
version of GDAL 1.6.0 by adding the '--without-libtool' to configure and tested 
this version using ogr2ogr to translate a gml file to ESRI Shapefile format. 
Fascinating, as libtool itself is unchanged between 1.5.x and 1.6.0, yet will 
build the one and not the other!  Ho hum.

Best wishes,

Peter
