That's your problem. C++ is very finicky - there is no standard ABI as
there is for C, so each compiler makes radically different output. You
*must* use the same compiler for all libraries that you use.

The pre-built binaries for Solaris are *not* built with gcc (I
believe). So you are going to have to build Xerces-C from source using
gcc.

Yup, that's the error. 

Use the source luke ;-)
