I had these kinds of errors as I tried to compile version 1.9.2 of 
QuickFIX on a Debian testing system. As always, I first did

	./bootstrap

used the newest stuff from my Debian system. This broke is the above 
way. Using the generated files already provided in the download worked fine.

I tracked down the problem to the usage of CPPFLAGS and CXX_FLAGS (or 
CFLAGS) to access libxml2. Basically, the newer versions of automake use 
CPPFLAGS since the specification of the include path via -I is part of 
the C-PreProcessor (CPP) phase.

But I did not spend resolving that further. Probably setting both 
CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS somewhere would help to make that compatible.

Sorry for this rather rough answer, I am quite busy at the moment.

Cheers, Jörg
