the xerces-p-dev list (see the To: line) is the best place to ask - I
am often busy, and there are others that can be of more assistance.

Originally, I didn't want to put it on CPAN because of the very
specific version issues, but I was convinced to do it. You really
can't use CPAN.pm to install it...

Yes, I need the config.status file to figure out the C++ compiler
directives.

This won't work. You must use:

  declare -x XERCESCROOT=/xerces-c-src2_4_0

Sorry, I don't know how I can make my Error message more clear. You
have two incompatible versions of software and you are trying to
compile them together - C++ can't handle this. If the explanation in
the README file is not sufficient please help me explain it better. 

You must either download Xerces-C-2.3.0 or you must download
XML-Xerces-2.4.0. 

Xerces-C-2.4.0 has know problems - and there will be a bugfix release
next week. If you are in a hurry I would grab Xerces-C-2.3.0 from:

  http://archive.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-c/

Or if you want XML-Xerces-2.4.0, you can get it here:

  http://xml.apache.org/dist/xerces-p/nightly/2003-11-21/

I haven't officially released it for a number of reasons.

Cheers,
jas.
