Summary: compile problem on hpux11.23. Urgent!

Initial Comment:
My server is: HP Integrity rx2620 hpux11.23.

I want to compile one source which needs to link libexpat.a on hpux. The message always as following:
ld: Can't find library or mismatched ABI for -lexpat
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.
*** Error exit code 1

I downloaded a version from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ which was special for hpux11.23. After installing expat, I copied the libexpated to my source's lib folder, compiled again, also couldn't find expat library.

Then, I downloaded expat source. First, did ./configure, then did make. When making, message was:
ld: Unknown input file type: "./.libs/libexpat.so"
Fatal error.
*** Error exit code 1
Under .libs folder, libexpat.a and libexpat.so had been created.
I copied this licexpat.a to my lib folder, also couldn't use.

The same source, I compiled on AIX5.3, Linux, Windows.... no problem.

Anybody could explain? Kindly thanks!

Kind Regards,
Arthur Zhu
