In order to correctly un-tar the distribution files, you _MUST_ use GNU tar, not the local versions installed by the OS. This is one of the first questions in the Xerces FAQ list, but almost no-one reads it. I also found this problem and complained about it over a year ago, and found that it was addressed in the FAQ. Grab GNU tar from any GNU mirror site, or freeware site that handles your OS. Then just untar the file again, and it will fix all the problems. This problem occurs because there is no standard on how to handle very long paths in the tar format. Gnu does it one way, and almost every other OS does something different. Since GNU is available for every system, it was a good compromise that works everywhere. Now if we could just get people to read the FAQ.... All the best, --Carl "Altenau, Maureen D CECOM RDEC C2D" on 10/03/2001 12:57:52 PM Please respond to xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org To: "'xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org'" cc: Subject: XercesDef.hpp The DOM_xxxx.hpp files located in the DOM include directory include the file util/XercesDefs.hpp. Can someone tell me where I can get this file. It was not in the binary tar file.
