Setup.in contains the following comment: # (Note: the expat build process doesn't yet build a libexpat.a; you can # do this manually while we try convince the author to add it.) I've got expat, and I've built it, but I don't have any idea how to build libexpat.a. It may be possible to do it manually, but it would help a lot if the comments could say how to build it or contain a link to instructions on how to build it. Jeremy
I don't know where you got your expat or how new it is, but with the one I got from the xml-sig, I can type "make libexpat.a" -- Paul Prescod - Not encumbered by corporate consensus The calculus and the rich body of mathematical analysis to which it gave rise made modern science possible, but it was the algorithm that made the modern world possible. - The Advent of the Algorithm (pending), by David Berlinski

That's a patch I made to the Makefile and submitted to James Clark. For Modules/Setup.in, I can change it to explicitly list the 8 files from Expat that need to be linked to. The problem is that one of the files will vary: # Use one of the next two lines; unixfilemap is better if it works. FILEMAP_OBJ=xmlwf/unixfilemap.o #FILEMAP_OBJ=xmlwf/readfilemap.o --amk

The URL for the download is ftp://ftp.jclark.com/pub/xml/expat.zip. This version hasn't changed in the last two weeks. The instructions Fred include worked almost just right. I checked in the corrected ar command and it looks good. Jeremy
