No, i think the problem was that make test is designed to
run after make install in expat. I'd never heard of this
before. But now that it is installed, it of course still
fails tests. More on the issue here:

PATH variable should point to /usr/local/ or try 
using ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lib
and read the README

True enough. I thought it was failing because `make check`
was failing spectacularly, but it turns out that the same is
true of 1.95.5, which issues no warnings. I've now tried
1.95.7 with XML::Parser, and all its tests pass, so I'm happy.

Thanks,

David

The build should still succeed. Its only a warning.

I notice I get the same results with gcc 2.95.2, gcc3 (GCC)
3.1 20021003 (prerelease), and gcc-3.3 (GCC) 3.3 20030304
(Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495). Pity.

Regards,

David

Is there a workaround, in the meantime? I'm trying to get
expat built on Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther".

Thanks,

David

The same warning occurs also with gcc on Solaris. Somewhat
annoying. it might be useful to try and compile a program
during configure to see whether the cdecl works.

Does gcc on MacOSX know about cdecl at all,
or does it just not understand the attribute directive?

This was with MacOS X 10.3 Panther, with the built-in gcc.
