Ah, I should check those docs, make them more clear, thanks. You would only need autoconf if you were planning on changing something in the autotmatic configuration system. No one ever does that, not even me, and I modify other parts of the source code all the time. You still haven't let me know if you are trying to use the XML::Xerces perl module or if you are just trying to use Xerces-C to build C++ applications. Your answer to that question may influence whether you are able to use the binary distribution (which is much simpler since they've already compiled everything for you), or whether you need to recompile from source, which you may have to do if you want to build XML::Xerces (I don't have binary distributions) and you don't have access to the same version of the compiler they used to compile the Xerces-C binary (you're using gcc, right? and they used some version of the sun compiler. > Essentially, I have started over.

A binary distribution is just that, the binaries (executables and libraries) that you need to run the system, as well as the header files for building your own apps and linking them against the libraries. You have no need for the source code. > I went back to the site and noticed there were also source files > available. Why were there no source files in the binary tar file? > Did I miss something?

This is a documented bug in Solaris tar: http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/faq-distrib.html#faq-11 You have to use the GNU tar utility to be able to handle the pathnames properly. jas. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
