RE: AIX Xalan runtime errors dynamically loading Xerces library

[David N Bertoni/Cambridge/IBM]

Hi Herb,

Xerces and Xalan binaries are built with IBM VisualAge for C++ 5.02, so I'm
not quite sure what the problem would be.  Are you saying you can't even
use GNU Make and autoconf to build the librares?  That seems strange, since
they don't have any polluting affect on the binaries you produce, vis-a-vis
the license.

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.
