Build glitch: gnome-print-0.19 fails to build on Solaris 2.8

["Zach Frey" <zfrey bright net>]

Hi all,

Trying to live on the bleeding edge with Solaris ...

gnome-print-0.19 fails to build on Solaris 2.8 without
intervention.  The symptom is --

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused -o gnome-font-install
gnome-font-install.o -L/usr/loca
l/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -lresolv -lrt -lnsl -l

The underlying problem is that configure is failing to set GNOME_XML_LIB
in Makefile, and leaves it blank.  Changing GNOME_XML_LIB to " -lxml "
allows the build to finish properly.

I have not debugged configure enough yet to figure out *why* it fails
to set this properly.  Hopefully, the right answer is obvious to somebody
out there.  I also am seeing the same problem with bonobo-0.13 and
GNOME_PRINT_LIBS (build fails because of link failure because -lgnomeprint
wasn't specified).


FYI,
