[Expat-discuss] VMWare Linux Build

[Melikian, Alex]

Thanks for the suggestion, it appears to be a problem with the configure
script. I'm not sure why, the configure script does realize the
"memmove" exists but for some reason the HAVE_MEMMOVE macro is not
defined. I commented out that MACRO section and it fully installed
without problems.

Thanks again.

Try commenting out the #ifndef HAVE_MEMMOVE block and rebuild.
If it builds OK and Exat works, the problem might be with configure.
In this case Greg Stein would likely know how to fix it.
