Yes, I struck the same problem. The cause is that the "config.guess" module which tries to figure out the type of the host machine isn't figuring out the CPU type. For HP at least, the host system type should work out to be CPUTYPE-hp-hpuxVERSION, where CPUTYPE is "hppa1.0", "hppa1.1" or "hppa2.0" depending upon the version of PA-RISC cpu in your machine (assuming it is a PA-RISC!).
My machine type (as reported by uname -m) is "9000/800", which is a PA-RISC2.0, but is not recognised by config.guess. I fixed the problem by editing config.guess to insert a "9000/800" entry at the appropriate point (line 372 in file that comes with Xerces v1_0_1). There are two copies of this file (src and samples). There are other ways to fix the problem, eg specifying "./configure -host 'hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20' ", but that means not using "runConfigure". Also, specifying -host option means knowing what PA-RISC version you have, while fixing config.guess at the suggested line tells config.guess that it IS a PA-RISC, while letting the version be dynamically determined. Does anyone else out there know who might be interested in information about missing host types in config.guess? Is this a problem to report to Xerces, or to the autoconf people?
