Rather than put in a bug of my own, I'll add here that the same error comes up on OpenBSD 2.6 and in OpenBSD Current (hostinfo is: OpenBSD 2.8-beta (NSA.eff.org) #0: Mon Sep 25 05:20:17 PDT 2000).

I admin several OpenBSD boxen, and I need expat for one of my clients, sp I'd be happy to give one of you fellows an account to get this sorted out.  ;-)

I should add that you can email me at robin@unrated.net if you'd care to take me up on the test box offer.

Sorry about putting in two followups.  I forgot to put my email address in the first.  ;-)

Try using gmake instead of make. This fixed the problem on my FreeBSD 4.0 box which was exactly what you described in your bug report.

Comment:
I experienced the same problem under HP-UX 10.20, and needed to use gmake
and gcc in order to build the package. The .lo files weren't being made otherwise.
More checking in the makefile needed, perhaps ?

Comment:
It appears that the Makefile template in the lib directory depends on
some constructs in GNU make that don't exist in other make programs.
In particular, the $(SOURCES:.c=.lo) doesn't seem to work which leads
the library rule to miss its dependencies.

Until this is fixed in the next release, use the GNU make.

Identical bug verified on a FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE machine.
