Got it: the problem proved to be libtool! I've successfully built a working version of GDAL 1.6.0 by adding the '--without-libtool' to configure and tested this version using ogr2ogr to translate a gml file to ESRI Shapefile format. Fascinating, as libtool itself is unchanged between 1.5.x and 1.6.0, yet will build the one and not the other! Ho hum.

Best wishes,

Peter

 Peter,

Is it possible that what's in /usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/include/
is xerces 2.8 or other?

Looks like a version issue to me, going by memory.

Subject: [gdal-dev] Problems building 1.6.0 with Xerces 2.7 on Solaris 10 / Sparc (1.5.x work)

Dear All,

I'm sure that I've done something wrong, but cannot see it! I've pulled GDAL 1.6.0 and ran the same configure command as for 1.5.x, seeking to include xerces (for GML). Configure failed to find the xerces libraries with both gcc 3.3 and the Sun compilers; I also had to drop Jasper, as I do not currently have this. I got round the xerces problem for the Sun compilers (but get a new set of errors from gcc) by editing configure to add a reference to the XMLUni header file, as follows:

#include <xercesc/util/XercesDefs.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/XMLUni.hpp>
#include <xercesc/util/PlatformUtils.hpp>

However, GDAL then fails to build, with multiple link errors of the same form as originally generated by configure:

Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file

char*const,xercesc_2_7::MemoryManager*const)
/usr/postel/gdal-1.6.0/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/o/.libs/writer.o

Checking the sources, the header file requests appear to be in order, so it would appear that I have some other problem that is masked by my edit to configure.

My current configure statement is

./configure 'CC=cc' 'CCC=CC' '--with-oci-include=/usr/appl/oracle/solaris/solaris32/instant
client10_1/sdk/include'
'--with-oci-lib=/usr/appl/oracle/solaris/solaris32/instantclie
nt10_1/lib'
'--prefix=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc' '--with-pcraster=internal' '--with-png=internal' '--with-libtiff=internal' '--with-geotiff=internal' '--with-jpeg=internal' '--with-xerces' '--with-xerces-inc=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/include/' '--with-xerces-lib=/usr/appl/bin/solaris/sparc/lib/libxerces-c.so.27' '--without-python' '--without-jasper'

Note that I have had to specify the libxerces-c.so.27, rather than just libxerces-c.so as I did at GDAL 1.5.x - they are the same version.

I can provide compilation logs, etc., should these be needed to identify where I've gone wrong.

Thanks and best wishes,

Peter
