Problems with the new Xerces

Problems with the new Xerces

[Gary Benson]

Since Xerces got upgraded I've started getting the following error
when trying to start tomcat:

libgcj failure: Duplicate class registration: org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler
Aborted (core dumped)

Has anyone else seen this, and does anyone have any idea what might be
causing it and how it might be fixed?

Cheers,
Gary

org.xml.sax and org.w3c.dom were revently split out of libgcj for this
very reason.

You need to update your gcj.  My suggestion is to use the tools on the
gcc-3_3-branch branch in cvs.  It's a very stable set of tools.

Hi there,

I put up a Ant static compiled elf binary on sourceforge.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/salvation/ant-glibc2.3.1-linux-2.4.19-ix86-static-0.0.2.tar.bz2?download

(don't mind the project page too much, it's mostly still super
experimental for me). It was compiled on a glibc2.3.1/linux2.4.19
system. I was just wondering if somebody could point out some resources
about how this inflences binary compatibility for other linux systems.
Or is it irrelevant for static binaries? There something odd with the
gcc3.3 snapshot from 2003-01-09, as the Pass1Verifier from
org.apache.bcel.verifier.statics will throw an exception in the compiler
because gnu.gcj.runtime.StringBuffer is read twice. It could be a local
problem, so I won't submit a PR yet.

greets Abhun.
