I compiled the XMLTK with gcc3.2 on RedHat 7.2 last week.

You need some general tips.
1. the STL namespace
   - you need to add std namespace when you use the STL library.
     You need to change all "string" to "std::string".
   - the STL library in gcc3.2 becomes GNU STL.
     Even though it seems some hacking way (not a right way), but
     you can compile the XMLTK by adding -D__gnu_cxx=std as a gcc
     compile option. This means that you need to use "__gnu_cxx"
     instead of "std" namespace.
2. The exp variable only in the xpathDFA/xmatch.y
   You need to change the variable name.
   e.g exp -> expression

All of the above make you compile all of the XMLTK except the xagg.
I haven't solve the error yet.

Good luck!
