[UDUNITS #LMB-793185]: Problems installing udunits 2.2.25

Gerry,

Yes, but does that shared library contain the symbol "XML_StopParser"? Use the 
nm(1) utility to find out.

The "-lexpat" argument should cause the linker to find the 
"/usr/lib64/libexpat.so" symbolic-link to the "/usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1.6.0" 
dynamic library. The fact that it's not is very strange.

You might try adding "/usr/lib64" to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
before executing the configure(1) script. Let me know if this works.

Steve Emmerson
