Re: Help!! A beginner's question
Hi Sean. I had the same problem and *was* using ICU -- what's more I set
the ICU_DATA environment variable to what it said and it didn't work. The
real problem is probably that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable isn't set
right. You'll need to set it to the directory that contains the
libxerces-c1_0.so library. For me, it's in /usr/local/lib, so:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib

We're sorry about that vague information that panics out for unix platforms
when it doesn't find the library in the specified path. These panics are now
modified in the upcoming version. So, you'll have more sensible messages in
future.

Hi, Harmon:
Yes. After setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, everything works fine. Thank you
very much!
