Hi Boris, I realized this was due to missing C compiler. The message was gone after I specified C++ compiler instead of C compiler. Specifying C++ compiler instead of C is not a solution to build xerces because compilation halts later due to undef symbols.

Both of these compilers are quite old. Xerces-C++-3.0.1 was tested with 5.7 and up though I think it should work with older version as well. Can you show the relevant part of your config.log?
