[mapguide-users] MapGuide 2.0.2 compile error : dbxml

[Mike Toews]

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile MGOS 2.0.2 on CentOS 5.2 with GCC 4.1.2. While 
running 'make', I get an error:

<after aclocal, etc. commands>
$ make

The error specifically says that Oem/dbxml-2.3.10/install/lib does not 
exist. Here is the listing for the directory:
$ ls Oem/dbxml-2.3.10/
buildall.sh  db-4.5.20  dbxml  README  xerces-c-src  xqilla
(this is the same as 
http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/tags/MAPGUIDE2.0.2/Oem/dbxml-2.3.10/)

The first instance of Oem/dbxml-2.3.10/install in the make output is 
listed in the large output above.

Also note that I did the steps suggested in the documents at 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Building_MapGuide_quick_starts_guides and my 
source code is from http://svn.osgeo.org/mapguide/tags/MAPGUIDE2.0.2

If this is indeed a bug, I'll file it on Trac. However, I don't know the 
history behind dbxml to assess this (searching for mapguide and dbxml 
pull out many interesting non-related results).

Any help would be great! Thanks in advance.
