This appears to be due to ICU being installed on my machine and autoconf picking it up and configuring Xerces-C++ to use it (which is not a bad idea by itself). But, as further investigation showed, autoconf support for ICU is not finished. I tried to change a few things but ran into more problems after regenerating the configure scripts with newer version of libtool. See the following thread for more information: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.xerces-c.devel/8275 If anybody has any idea how to fix this, please let us know. > It's not reasonable to me to hold up development for a platform or compiler > for which nobody is donating time, a box to test on, or both. I agree, if there is no way to test something then there is no way to support it. However, as I mentioned above, there are problems on mainstream platforms or across platforms. > Put up or shut up basically. Remember that there was a build system which, while being ugly and all, supported quite a few platforms. Now we threw that build system away and replaced it with another one which does not (yet) work properly on less mainstream platforms. It seems to me that telling users of those platform to fix it themselves or shut up is a sure way to alienate them.
