[Tclxml-users] Installation of tclxml2.6

[<Mar...@ar...>]

Hi there,

I need to perform some xml-tcl parsing and heard that the tclxml2.6 
package was a good place to start.  However, as I tried to install the 
software I kept getting an error message and hence installation would not 
complete. I was following the instructions given on how to build and 
install tclxml2.6 at 
http://tclxml.sourceforge.net/tclxml/2.6/README.html#installation 
and was using the compiled installation unix instructions. I have tcl 8.3 
and tcllib 1.4 installed so thought there would be no problem but when it 
came to installing the expat parser class (the last step) the following 
error message was generated:
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target "tclexpat.o"

I have tried using gnumake and this was also unsuccessful.

Any suggestions as to what might be the problem and how it can be 
rectified are greatly appreciated.

I tested the build process on Mac OS X and Linux (RedHat 8.0)
and it worked for me.  Perhaps you could send a log of your effort
to see if you have missed a step or whether something else
went wrong?
