[Mapserver-users] Building gdal with Xerces

[Benjamin Thelen CCGIS]

Hi Paul,

Thanks! See the posting from Frank half an hour later than yours. He sais,
that newer versions should be recognized. I checked today and posted an
answer to Franks Mail with a bit more information.

How did you manage that? What did you change in that environment variable?

Regards,
Benjamin
