Read instructions at http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/build.html Still cannot resolve it? Find out if someone else had the same problem before. Go to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xerces-c-dev In future, you may also directly type the following commands to create the Makefiles. export TRANSCODER="NATIVE" export MESSAGELOADER="INMEM" export NETACCESSOR="Socket" export THREADS="pthread" export BITSTOBUILD="32" export CC="gcc" export CXX="g++" export CXXFLAGS=" -w -O -DPROJ_XMLPARSER -DPROJ_XMLUTIL -DPROJ_PARSERS -DPROJ_SAX4C -DPROJ_SAX2 -DPROJ_DOM -DPROJ_VALIDATORS -DXML_USE_NATIVE_TRANSCODER -DXML_USE_INMEM_MESSAGELOADER -DXML_USE_PTHREADS -DXML_USE_NETACCESSOR_SOCKET " export CFLAGS=" -w -O -DPROJ_XMLPARSER -DPROJ_XMLUTIL -DPROJ_PARSERS -DPROJ_SAX4C -DPROJ_SAX2 -DPROJ_DOM -DPROJ_VALIDATORS -DXML_USE_NATIVE_TRANSCODER -DXML_USE_INMEM_MESSAGELOADER -DXML_USE_PTHREADS -DXML_USE_NETACCESSOR_SOCKET " export LDFLAGS=" " export LIBS=" -lpthread " configure --prefix=/home/rubys/dbxml If the result of the above commands look OK to you, go to the directory /home/rubys/work/xerces-c-src_2_3_0/src/xercesc and type "gmake" to make the XERCES-C system.
