Re: Re: [xml] Compile error on Solaris 2.6

I'm not on the mailing list, so please CC me with any

I found this message in the archives:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2001-March/msg00121.html

which is the exact problem I've been having, but I've found a
workaround which someone else might work into an actual patch.

The following statement fails, but I do have libz installed
(in /usr/local/lib), and I
tried to put '-L/usr/local/lib' in all the appropriate places in
the Makefile, but it still failed, because the '-L..' appeared
after the '-lz', but I found that if I put '-L/usr/local/lib'
before the '-lz' in the compile, then it would compile ok.
So I just put '-L/usr/local/lib' before every '-lz' in the makefile,
and it compiled ok.
