It was, in fact, a problem with the Xerces compile.  I have solved this problem and have now run to another problem.  While trying to compile the TestXPath executable I get the following errors

g++ -O   -fPIC -instances=static -DSOLARIS -D_REENTRANT -DXALAN_CANNOT_MUTATE_AN

gmake: *** [/support/users/peterw/sias/xml-xalan/c/src/obj/TestXPath.o] Error 1 

This appears to come from the isDirectory() method.  This method appears to be Linux specific and the AIX version always returns false.  Will doing the same on Solaris cause problems?  TIA for your help.
