[redland-dev] Raptor 1.4.2 (and probably earlier) compile problem on OS X

[René Puls]

Hi,

when I try to compile Raptor 1.4.2 on OS X 10.3.5, I get the following 
error:

These contants are not defined in any of the libxml2 header files on OS 
X, but the configure check indicates that this version should be compatible:

checking RSS Tag Soup parser requirements... yes - libxml2 2.6.7 ok

I have encountered problems with the default libxml2 on OS X before. If 
I remember correctly, the installed libxml2 is slightly crippled and is 
missing some header files. But I'm not 100% sure about that.

(The reason why I haven't noticed and reported this before is that I 
usually compile Raptor against a newer libxml2 version which I have 
installed manually. The compile error only happens with the system 
default libxml2.)
