I do a make it complains about this.

grep: /usr/lib64/libexpat.la <http://libexpat.la>: No such file or directory

I have my expat-2.1.0 in a different location and I placed it in
PKG_CONFIG_PATH

I have also tried doing, LDGLAGS="-L/software/expat-2.1.0/lib"
./configure  and still it complains about this. Is there something else
I need to do?

TIA

You don't need libexpat.la, you should grep your system's other *.la files and remove any reference to libexpat.la, or replace them with references of -lexpat so the linker (libtool in this case) will directly link to the .so instead of trying to pull the info from the .la

Something like:

find /usr -name '*.la' -exec grep libexpat.la {} +

Then either delete the files it finds, or edit them as I suggested before

But yeah, definately wrong list, this question is more suitable for the libtool mailing list, or perhaps your distribution's
