Hi all

I'm experienced enough at building stuff on boxes where I have
root access, but now I'd like to get sablotron (0.42 since that's
what I'm used to on other machines) running if possible
on a machine where I have a shell account, but no root access.

Should this be possible in principle?

I know expat is installed on this host, because I can call it from
a Perl wrapper. But sab's configure stops with

checking for Expat... no
checking for main in -lxmltok... no
checking for main in -lxmlparse... no
configure: error: Can't find the expat libraries

yet the libraries seem to be there:

%ls /usr/local/lib | grep xml
libxml.a
libxml.so
libxml.so.5
libxmlparse.a
libxmlparse.so
libxmlparse.so.1
libxmltok.a
libxmltok.so
libxmltok.so.1

Any ideas, or am I on to a loser here?

Michael
