(crosspost from haskell-libraries)

Hello all, again.

Meanwhile I've been able to install this package without too much trouble on a Linux system. Unfortunately MacOSX is still a problem. Both on Linux and Mac I installed the Berkeley DB and DBXML packages with `--prefix=/usr' so all include files and libraries end up in a standard place.

Also both on Linux and Mac I installed the Haskell BerkeleyDB bindings just with:

  cabal install BerkeleyDB

Because the DBXML include files are installed under /usr/include/dbxml/ *.hpp and the BerkeleyDBXML binding accesses them without this prefix I did:

  cabal install BerkeleyDBXML --extra-include-dirs=/usr/include/dbxml

On both system installation is not a problem. Compiling the demo `adventure' included in de bindings distribution works fine on Linux but fails on MacOSX. The errors are the ones in my previous mail below. A full hpaste of it can be found here[1].

Any idea where the difference in behaviour comes from on these platforms and how to fix this? Unfortunately, my knowledge of the c++ toolchain and Haskell FFI bindings using these is _very_ limited.

Thanks,
Sebastiaan

Hello all,

After manually specifying where to find the appropriate include and library directories for the dbxml distribution, I succeeded to install both the BerkeleyDB and the BerkeleyDBXML Haskell bindings. They both nicely show up in `ghc-pkg list'.

But when I try to compile my own test or the demo program included in the BerkeleyDBXML package it will kindly present me a dozen or so pages of linking errors. The top lines are:

 Undefined symbols:
"std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::_Rep::_M_destroy(std::allocator<char> const&)", referenced from: __xmlDocument_setContent in libHSBerkeleyDBXML-0.6.2.a(dbxml_helper.o)
       ...

Do I have to tell GHC where to find the original dbxml libraries when compiling my BerkeleyDBXML aware Haskell programs?

Small system overview:
 - Mac OS X 10.5.7
 - GHC 6.10.3
 - BerkeleyDB 0.7.1
 - BerkeleyDBXML 0.6.2
 - gcc/g++ 4.0.1

Any clue on how to fix this?

Thanks,
