Re: File not found: /usr//include/xmlparse.h (RPM build problem)

Hello Steinar,

I just checked and there are some problems on the libwww CVS base. That's why
the cvs2sql directory isn't there. We're looking at this problem right now.

I think that it is trying to make the RPM from the final installation
location, rather than from the w3c-libwww subdirectory. For example,
after compiling libwww, you can do a "make install". As you're using an
RPM for windows, the problem may be that the /usr/include directory
doesn't exist there (I'm not sure if you're under cygwin).
Also, it's strange that it says /usr//include/xmlparse.h, with two "//"
chars.

Under Unix, the wwwconf.h file is generated after having executed the
configure command. If you're not using configure, then you can find
a custom config.h file in

	~/libwww/Library/src/windows/config.h

If you look at wwwconf.h, you find the following:

========
#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
#include <wwwconf.h>
#endif
=========

Maybe it's a bug in that the windows/config.h file isn't called wwwconf.h.
Try to undefine HAVE_CONFIG_H and compile again. Also try renaming the above
config.h into wwwconf.h, including the directory in your path and compiling.

Could you tell us what kind of platform/system you're using for your
build?

Hope that this helps you!
