Hi, Alexander: Thanks for the reply. I followed your advice and updated my XCode to version 2.5. The following process of fink selfupdate, followed by update-all took about 5 hours to complete. I held little hope that the 72 packages it wanted to install would work out, but they did.
However, after all of this, the net result with regard to the Xerces- C is ZERO. It runs into the exact same linker problem: Building /sw/src/fink.build/xerces-c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/ lib/libxerces-depdom.27.0.dylib c++ -DMACOSX -dynamiclib -install_name /sw/lib/libxerces-depdom. 27.dylib -o /sw/src/fink.build/xerces-c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c- src_2_7_0/lib/libxerces-depdom.27.0.dylib MACOSX/depdom/AttrImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/AttrMapImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/AttrNSImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ CDATASectionImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/CharacterDataImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ ChildNode.o MACOSX/depdom/CommentImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/DOMParser.o MACOSX/depdom/DOMString.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_Attr.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_CDATASection.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_CharacterData.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_Comment.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_DOMException.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_DOMImplementation.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_Document.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_DocumentFragment.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_DocumentType.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_Element.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_Entity.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_EntityReference.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_NamedNodeMap.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_Node.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_NodeFilter.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_NodeIterator.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_NodeList.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_Notation.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_ProcessingInstruction.o MACOSX/ depdom/DOM_Range.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_RangeException.o MACOSX/depdom/ DOM_Text.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_TreeWalker.o MACOSX/depdom/DOM_XMLDecl.o MACOSX/depdom/DStringPool.o MACOSX/depdom/DeepNodeListImpl.o MACOSX/ depdom/DocumentFragmentImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/DocumentImpl.o MACOSX/ depdom/DocumentTypeImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/DomMemDebug.o MACOSX/depdom/ ElementDefinitionImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ElementImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ ElementNSImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/EntityImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ EntityReferenceImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/NamedNodeMapImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ NodeIDMap.o MACOSX/depdom/NodeImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/NodeIteratorImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/NodeListImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/NodeVector.o MACOSX/depdom/ NotationImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ParentNode.o MACOSX/depdom/ ProcessingInstructionImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/RangeImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ RefCountedImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/TextImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/ TreeWalkerImpl.o MACOSX/depdom/XMLDeclImpl.o -framework CoreServices -lpthread -L/usr/lib -L/sw/src/fink.build/xerces- c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/lib -lxerces-c ld: Undefined symbols: __ZN11xercesc_2_712XMLException14loadExceptTextENS_10XMLExcepts5CodesE __ZN11xercesc_2_712XMLExceptionC2EPKcjPNS_13MemoryManagerE __ZN11xercesc_2_712XMLExceptionC2ERKS0_ __ZN11xercesc_2_712XMLExceptionD2Ev __ZN11xercesc_2_76XMLUni37fgArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException_NameE __ZN11xercesc_2_77XMemorydlEPv __ZN11xercesc_2_77XMemorydlEPvPNS_13MemoryManagerE __ZN11xercesc_2_77XMemorynwEmPNS_13MemoryManagerE __ZTIN11xercesc_2_712XMLExceptionE . . . /usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libtool: internal link edit command failed make[1]: *** [/sw/src/fink.build/xerces-c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c- src_2_7_0/lib/libxerces-depdom.27.0.dylib] Error 1 make[1]: Target `ALL' not remade because of errors. make: *** [/sw/src/fink.build/xerces-c-2.7.0-1002/xerces-c-src_2_7_0/ lib/libxerces-c.27.0.dylib] Error 2 ### execution of /var/tmp/tmp.1.ydf9RC failed, exit code 2 Removing runtime build-lock...

Removing fink-buildlock-xerces-c-2.7.0-1002 ... Failed: phase compiling: xerces-c-2.7.0-1002 failed Needless to say I'm very frustrated by the whole turn of events. After wrestling with fink for three days, I got notthing to show for. I'm currently setting up a noisy Linux box to have a fallback option, but thats not what I really want. And the clock is ticking.
