[users@httpd] httpd fails to start - XmlInitUnknownEncoding error, Solaris 10

[Dan Richardson]

Hello,

I'm trying to start httpd (2.0.59 - Sunfreeware package) and receive the following error:

web1 [/root]# /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd
ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache2/lib/libexpat.so.0: symbol XmlInitUnknownEncoding: referenced symbol not found
Killed


ldd on that library returns:

Anyone have any ideas? Google reveals someone else has had this problem, but no solution was ever posted.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
