[Mapserver-users] Building gdal with Xerces

[Benjamin Thelen CCGIS]

That means 1.7.0 won't run? Do you think, that xerces 1.6.0 would
automatically be recognized by gdal at installation time of gdal? Otherwise
I would have to find out what to specify for --with-xerces-in=dir
and --with-xerces-lib=opts. Especiall the last one is a miracle to me.

Thanks,
Ben
