[redland] xmltok errors while compiling redland on OS X 10.2.1

version of libtool.

I assume you are using fink too?

Seems odd that libtool doesn't exist at all.  Were you building from
CVS directly or from a released snapshot?  If the former, you may
have a libtool that is too old (however the fink autotools suite is
fine).  If the latter, then I need more information - were there any
error messages in the configure?

It could be Apple changed their odd linking again, so libtool might
need some more fixes.  We don't have an OSX 10.2 machine here, but
the latest snapshot build from
  http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/dist/snapshots/source/
I just checked built OK on our OSX 10.1 ibook.

With fink in /sw (and /sw/bin in my path) I did:

  tar xfz redland-0.9.12.tar.gz
  cd redland-0.9.12
  ./configure
  make

The summary I got was slightly different:

------------------------------------------------------------
Raptor build summary:
  XML parser:  libxml(system 2.4.23)


Redland build summary:
  XML parsers:            expat(source)
  RDF parsers:            raptor repat libwww
  Hash digests:           md5
  Berkeley/Sleepycat DB:  Missing
------------------------------------------------------------

Different combinations of development headers I guess.
