A snippet of my configuration log:

updating cache ../../../.././config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating lib/Makefile
creating lib/expat.h
creating config.h
xml/expat configured properly


I see the Makefile getting created there :-)


... I figured out the problem. In the APRUTIL configuration, you'll see some
lines like this:

checking for Expat in /usr... no
checking for Expat in /usr/local... no
checking for Expat in xml/expat-cvs... no
checking for Expat in xml/expat... yes


What are you seeing on your platform? I'm guessing that Expat was installed
and found in one of those other locations. Thus, aprutil's configure never
ran xml/expat/configure, thus never making xml/expat/Makefile.

Prolly the same for David.

The right answer is to fix xml/Makefile.in to recurse only if APRUTIL
decides to use its builtin expat.

Fix approacheth...

Cheers,
