[Quickfix-developers] Build error

[James W. <wi...@tr...>]

 Folks,

   I'm trying to build a copy of quickfix-1.4.1 on a Debian woody box. 
I have installed libxml 2.5.4 in a separate directory, and run configure
with the --with-xml-prefix="/prefix/to/xml2" option, but when I actually
try to run make, I get:

cd . && aclocal-1.4
aclocal: configure.in: 101: macro `AM_PATH_XML' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1

   Where in the world is this error coming from?  I can't even find the
actual string AM_PATH_XML in any file inside the quickfix distribution. 
configure.in line 101 has the following:

AM_PATH_XML2(2.0.0, , AC_MSG_ERROR(libxml2 must be installed.))

   I've searched the mailing list archives and there isn't a single
mention of this anywhere in the archive.  Am I the only person who's
ever tried to compile this on a basic woody install?

thanks,
Jim Wiggs
