I thought I came across a similar-sounding bug when I was testing my installation with the sample suite. As it turned out, the parsers need an absolute URL rather than a relative one. I was trying to run SAXPrint, for example, with a command line parameter of sample.xml instead of file:/home/blahblah/sample.xml. The reason I mention this is I thought I'd traced it back to the native transcoder before I realized what was going on. Actually maybe it is a bug. Should the parsers resolve relative URLs? > I have only just joined the mailing list and can't seem to get the file > attachments from the archive, but would like to compare my changes with > Matthew Baker's if someone could please send them to me. I'll foward them to you. Oh, I found an additional thing. The -L/usr/lib32 needs to be removed from the IRIX compiler options in src/Makefile.incl otherwise it won't built with -64. > If anyone is interested, a list of the changes I made can be found at > http://www.esc.auckland.ac.nz/People/Students/Nickerso/Xerces-C/index.html I am interested, thanks. Maybe I should do the same. I'll put them at http://www.gmd.de/~mbaker/xerces-c-irix/ at some stage today. Oh, David's idea of updating IRIXPlatformUtils.cpp from LinuxPlatformUtils.cpp rather than editing PlatformUtils.hpp makes better sense to me. Cheers, Matthew P.S.
