XALAN library dependencies

[JJ Smith]

It was only on a re-read of the installation instructions that I got the e-mail address, I'm afraid I've already logged what follows as bug 2985 - sorry about that. However my problem:   Having recently identified a need to use stylesheets; XALAN seems the perfect solution to deploy on our IBM-AIX 4.3 box. It was downloaded with the intention of using the out-of-the-box command line options. I noticed, on your site, that Unicode extensions were optional when and if re-building. Having downloaded http://xml.apache.org/dist/xalan-c/Xalan-C_1_1-aix.tar.gz and configured the executable and library paths, I tried running TestXSLT , which fell over when libxalan-c1_1.a couldn’t load a dependant library libicu-i18n.a. I was under the impression that the TAR file was an all-in ‘XSLT engine’ and parser with no pre-requisite other than a ratified O/S. Should TestXSLT work without resorting to a re-build, as a C++ compiler on the AIX server is not readily available!! For example is it possible to get a copy of the dependent libraries used by yourselves when building the distribution.   Regards, JJ
