Ah sorry about that.  We are running Ubuntu 10.04, with the standard
"build-essential" group.  I am able to get the ./configure to pass, nay
clear, but as soon as I try to do a make this error happens.

I guess my first followup, if this is a dependency issue, shouldn't the
./configure catch it? I did see some "XMLTooling" was too old and followed
[1] who said how to get past it, but it's the newest released version [2]!

Maybe I should take a step back and ask, is there a soup-to-nuts build
from source document to get 2.5.1 out there? I've looked around and but
I'd like some direction on this. Also it seems that 2.4.3, which we were
running, has some dependency issues with libxml-c-dev iirc; and this is
forcing me to update to 2.5.1.  I'm at a loss here and would really
appreciate some insight.

Can you explain the "tested cleanly?" Are you saying that it works for
other people and not me?

Thanks for the followup! Oddly enough I didn't get the response, my
manager did. Edit: Ah I had it on digest mode :)
