Initial Comment:
Not sure if this is a bug or just my lack of 
understanding.

Does anyone have any idea why this refuses to compile ?

I received the same error.  Its not a missing header file, 
because XML_Char is being defined as a typedef only a few 
lines above in the header file where the error is being 
discovered.

Here is what I found.  For some weird reason, the compiler is 
expecting the function headers to be in the old style form, i.e.:

type function_name (var1, var2, var3, ...)
type1 var1;
type2 var2;
type3 var3;

When I changed the headers in expat.h, it suddenly got past 
each one that I changed, but now its getting more errors 
apparently of a different nature.

I know it sounds crazy, but there it is.  Email is 
mozart at ryanspc.com

The way the includes are set up has changed in the CVS
version of Expat.  Please try again using either the CVS
version or the upcoming 1.95.3 release.

It seems to me that the xmldef.h is missing from the lib 
directory. Any ideas? Thanks.

The error appears to indicate that a needed include file is
not being included properly.  XML_Char is a #define.  Check
the -I (Uppercase i) options.  Sometimes a space is allowed
other times is not.  I have seen this problem with the -L
options some loaders also. (space required/not allowed).  
There may be specific requirements for the "C" compiler that
is actually being used.  Also, make sure you have a recent
version of libtools.

I'm doing the exact same installation as Paul, and I'm 
getting the exact same error messages as Paul's. Could 
anyone help us with it? Please!!! Thank you.
