v0.9 and v1.x simultaneously - Expat conflict
Hi all,
Both v0.9 and v1.x of apr-util include a bundled copy of expat v1.95.2.
When you try and install both the v0.9 and v1.x apr-util libraries at the
same time, a conflict results as the same expat libraries are installed
twice in the same place.
Is it necessary to bundle expat at all?
How would somebody doing packaging handle expat if it were bundled with
apr-util?
Regards,
Graham

Does expat have an expat-config helper application?

Just pass --with-expat=/usr/path/to/expat/prefix to ./configure.

If you pass --with-expat or configure can find the installed expat, it'll use
that over the bundled copy. So, yes, I agree that the packager should be
dealing with this explicitly. But, we can't assume the from-source user has
expat installed. -- justin

I'd say that anyone doing packaging should be externally packaging an xml
parser, and that bundled dependencies are a convenience accomdation for
ad-hoc /usr/local installs.
