BerkeleyDBXML linking problems.

26 Jun 2009

      Hello all,

After manually specifying where to find the appropriate include and  
library directories for the dbxml distribution, I succeeded to install  
both the BerkeleyDB and the BerkeleyDBXML Haskell bindings. They both  
nicely show up in `ghc-pkg list'.

But when I try to compile my own test or the demo program included in  
the BerkeleyDBXML package it will kindly present me a dozen or so  
pages of linking errors. The top lines are:

   Undefined symbols:
     "std::basic_string::_Rep::_M_destroy(std::allocator<char>  
const&)", referenced from:
         __xmlDocument_setContent in  
libHSBerkeleyDBXML-0.6.2.a(dbxml_helper.o)
         ...

Do I have to tell GHC where to find the original dbxml libraries when  
compiling my BerkeleyDBXML aware Haskell programs?

Small system overview:
   - Mac OS X 10.5.7
   - GHC 6.10.3
   - BerkeleyDB 0.7.1
   - BerkeleyDBXML 0.6.2
   - gcc/g++ 4.0.1

Any clue on how to fix this?

Thanks,
