[Mapserver-users] Building GDAL with Xerces on Redhat 9

[Paul Spencer]

Doug,

Frank will likely have a comment, but the last time I did this (a few
days ago on, on a RH9 box) I had to use 1.6.0.  The gdal configure was

./configure --with-xerces

after running configure/make/make install on xercesc ... which puts it
in /usr/local/

The build on this version of xercesc is slightly different from the
current build instructions on the apache web site because they changed
the directory structure slightly, but I think it was only one directory
different then everything else worked the same as the current build
instructions (too bad they don't include the build instructions with the
tarball!)

Cheers,

Paul
