Re: [xml] compiling libxml2-devel on solaris

[Jakob <jakob free fr>]

Daniel, Fabrice,

thanks for the prompt replies.  I have forwarded your response to the

ressource detailing more information on this (why do you need it, what is it 
for, etc.)?

sorry, this is probably off-topic.  thanks anyway,
Jakob.
