[libxml++] libxml++ problem

[tim <tim sterlingmicros com au>]

Hi Guys

I am writting a c++ app and need xml support so i thought i would give 
libxml++ a try. Anyways i can not get anything to compile, i am using Debian 
3.0r1 I am using kdevelop 2.1. I tried a few of the examples that comes with 
libxml++ but none of them compile for eg (import node example)

#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <libxml++/libxml++.h>

using namespace xmlpp;
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[]){
  try {
    DomParser example1("example1.xml");
    DomParser example2("example2.xml");

    Document *doc1 = example1.get_document();
    Document *doc2 = example2.get_document();

    Element *root1 = doc1->get_root_node();
    Element *root2 = doc2->get_root_node();

    // find the first "child" element in example2
    Node::NodeList child_list = root2->get_children("child");
    Node *node_to_add = child_list.front();

    // import the node under the root element (recursive is default)
    root1->import_node(node_to_add);

    // print out the new doc1
    string doc1_string = doc1->write_to_string_formatted();
    cout << doc1_string;
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }
  catch (std::exception &e){
    cerr << "Caught exception " << e.what() << endl;
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }
}

i get the following errors:
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/test'
Making all in test
make[2]: Entering directory `/root/test/test'
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..     -O2 -O0 -g3 -Wall -fno-exceptions

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

i am pretty sure it's all installed properly because if i try and compile 
with just #include <libxml++/libxml++.h> and nothing in the int main() it 
doesn't complain that it can't find libxml++.h. I have also tried the 
examples on Mandrake 9.1 and get i get the same errors. I have tried the 
other examples and they all fail too. What on earth am i doing wrong??

P.S
Let me know if i haven't given enough information or didn't explain myself to 
well ;-)
