Maybe I didn't explain what happened well enough in my previous message.
I said I didn't have LIBRARY_PATH set and ./configure failed to find expat,
but then I set LIBRARY_PATH and it worked. Sablot was installed on 2
different machines and this occured both times. I wasn't really asking a
question about that but just sharing my experience incase others were
having problems.
Besides that I guess I do have a general Unix question since there was no
information in the INSTALL file about setting LIBRARY_PATH so I was
wondering if that is usually set? Is LIBRARY_PATH an environment variable
autoconf sets up for configure to read? Is it standard in the Unix world
for LIBRARY_PATH to be set and should I have it in my .profile? Does AIX
usually set this variable or is it different in that respect from other
Unixes?
Oh and BTW my previous email had an error in it. I set LIBRARY_PATH to
/usr/local/lib not the bin directory. That's proly what confused you.
It doesn't matter cause we got it to install but sabcmd core dumps on both
machines so apparently it doesn't work on AIX. When I get time I'll throw
some debug statements in it and figure out why.

Herman,
what's the version of your expat, 1.95? If not then this might be the
problem. You can tell e.g. by the name of the libraries. In previous
versions, the shared libraries are called libxmlparse and libxmltok,
whereas in 1.95 it's libexpat.
