Xalan and Symlinks

[Markus Havemann <m....@gmail.com>]

Hello

beginner needs help:

I'm using Xalan C++ v1.10 on Ubuntu Linux, calling it form the command
prompt.

The problem is, that whenever I use symlinks, Xalan doesn't read these
files. This happens both when xmlSource or xslStyleSheet is a symlink
and also when some file referenced by xslStylesheet by the xsd:include
commando is a symlink.

How do I make Xalan recognize and use symlinks just like regular files?

Thanks for your help

Is this the version that is packed with Ubuntu, or are you building your 
own?  I can't reproduce this on Ubuntu 8.04 with either the Ubuntu 
packaged version or the head of the repository.

This shouldn't be a problem, because Xalan doesn't do anything special 
with symlinks.  Are you sure the files are accessible?
