RE: building xerces-3.0.1 on Solaris8 - configure: error: Couldn'tfind a signed 16 bit int type

[Alona Rossen <ar...@opentext.com>]

Hi Boris, 

I realized this was due to missing C compiler. The message was gone
after I specified C++ compiler instead of C compiler. Specifying C++
compiler instead of C is not a solution to build xerces because
compilation halts later due to undef symbols.

Regards, 
Alona

Both of these compilers are quite old. Xerces-C++-3.0.1 was tested with
5.7 and up though I think it should work with older version as well.
Can you show the relevant part of your config.log?
