Hi Karen,

Sorry for responding so late. If you are still having this problem,
you need to correctly set your XERCES_INCLUDE and XERCES_LIB
environment variables. You have set them both to point at your bin/
directory. 

I agree the README file could be more explicit on this. The
XERCES_INCLUDE variable must point to the directory that has the
header files for Xerces-C (the .hpp files), if you have installed it,
it is likely to be /usr/local/include/. While the XERCES_LIB variable
should point to the directory which contains the Xerces-C dynamic
library (the .so file), which again is likely to be /usr/local/lib.

Cheers,
jas.
