[Expat-discuss] expat compilation

[Carlos Pereira]

Hi there,

I sucessfully compiled expat-1.2, expat-1.95.0 and expat-1.95.1
on my Intel-based system running GNU/Linux Red Hat 5.2, with
the usual ./configure, make, make install method.

However, when I try the same with expat-1.95.2 I get
the error below, during compilation. Disabling
the -fexceptions on lib/Makefile and xmlwf/Makefile 
doesn't help either.

What should I try? Thanks!

Carlos
