Hi there,

Perhaps this is already a known issue, but when I try to run ./configure
out of the Sablotron version 1.0 source tree, using the following
command line:

    ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/third-party/lib CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/third-party/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/third-party/include

(/opt/third-party is where a bunch of stuff is installed in the environment I tried this in...)

I get this output:

    checking where to find xml parser... expat (new)
    checking expat.h usability... yes
    checking expat.h presence... no
    configure: WARNING: expat.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
    configure: WARNING: expat.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
    configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
    configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to address@hidden ##
    configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
    checking for expat.h... no
    configure: error: Couldn't find the expat header file(s)

It says to report the bug, so this is it.

FYI, here's some info from config.log:

And some preamble information:

    This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
    running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

    It was created by configure, which was
    generated by GNU Autoconf 2.57.  Invocation command line was

      $ ./configure LDFLAGS=-L/opt/third-party/lib CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/third-party/include CFLAGS=-I/opt/third-party/include

    ## --------- ##
    ## Platform. ##
    ## --------- ##

    hostname = [deleted from e-mail]
    uname -m = i686
    uname -r = 2.4.21-1a
    uname -s = Linux
    uname -v = #1 Thu Jul 3 15:47:32 PDT 2003



Anyway, hopefully that's all the info you need... I'm sure I can work
around it (and I realize I'm probably just not using the proper flags to
./configure), but thought you might like to know.  (In case you don't
already.)

Cheers,
