It's been quite some time since someone reported on BSD, and we've
automated the build system a lot since then, so it doesn't surprise me
if there's some glitches.

We'll probably need to get the right Xerces flags for OS and compiler.

This is probably an issue. Right now I look for g++ to set the
-DXML_GCC flag. Perhaps I should actually run 'c++ --version' and
check the output.

Is your Xerces-C compiled with 2.95 as well?

I'm just guessing, but its probably not understanding the namespace
macro:

  #include "PerlCallbackHandler.hpp"
  #include "xercesc/sax2/ContentHandler.hpp"
  #include "xercesc/util/XMLString.hpp"
  
  XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE
  
  class PerlContentCallbackHandler  : public ContentHandler
  //				 , public PerlCallbackHandler 
  {

XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE is defined in the OS/compiler specific bits
of Xerces. Try commenting this out just to see if the compile gets any
further.

Where the errors different?
