Well, that's propably no problem for anybody else but me 8), but i've tested that it works with the current version of "config.guess" (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/config.guess), so it's maybe a good idea to update that file in libxml2!? Could be that this will prevent problems with other "exotic" platforms...The auto* tools drive me nuts each time I try to change anything in them. So I stick with the version provided with my OS, currently Red Hat 7.2 . I you want to update them go ahead, you're more courageous than me.
Good joke, i havn't got the foggiest idea about auto* tools :] I've just replaced the file "config.guess" in libxml2 with the version provided on the GNU FTP server.
Another, but related thing: It's been a while that you've asked me for the platform information for MPE/iX with the prospect that it's maybe possible to force the enabling of trio in "configure" for that platform (which is necessary) (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2002-January/msg00184.html). Is there a chance that this will be added to forthcoming versions of libxml2 (It's "hppa1.0-hp-mpeix")? For the moment i still hack "configure" with a static NEED_TRIO=1, which is ugly but works...Is the enclosed patch working (you will need to rebuild configure) ?
Surprise: I havn't auto* tools on this platform... :) However, i've applied the patch to the already generated "configure" (the position is obvious) but it doesn't work since WITH_TRIO is overwritten later in "configure" where NEED_TRIO is evaluated. I've fixed the patch (WITH_TRIO -> NEED_TRIO), i guess it was just a typo. The modified patch is attached. With NEED_TRIO it works perfect.

Many thanx, Markus
