Re: AIX Xalan runtime errors dynamically loading Xerces library

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Hi Herb,

It's best to ask Xalan questions on one of the Xalan lists.

If you look at the documentation for Xalan 1.4, you'll see that it was
built with Xerces-C 2.1, and that is the only version of Xerces that will
work.  When one of the libraries changes its minor version number, that
signals the library is not binary-compatible with an earlier version.  You
also will not be able to use XML4C 5.1, because that was based on Xerces-C
2.2.

If you download Xerces-C 2.1, and set up the symlink as appropriate, you
should have no problems.

Just out of curiousity, if you have a compiler available, why can't you
rebuild from sources?

Dave

I am trying to run the AIX Xalan 1.4 binaries apparently compiled for AIX
4.3 using some unknown compiler and it refers to the libxerces-c.a shared
library. I have installed Xerces 2.2 for AIX using Visual Age C++ 6.0 and
have verified that it is working correctly. the Xerces sample programs all
work. however, it doesn't have a library named libxerces-c.a. creating a
symbolic link from libxml4c51.0.so to libxerces-c.a doesn't work. it
creates
many undefined symbols from the dynamic linker when I try to run one of the
Xalan binaries. I have no ability to recompile Xerces or Xalan, so I have
to
work with downloading various versions of Xerces C++ or Xalan. is there a
set of versions that are compatible directly? I am running AIX 5.1 with
Visual Age C++ 6.0.

Herb....
