[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] libxml2 headers problem

[Jason Stephenson]

Francis,

If you feel like tilting at windmills...

There's a really out of date branch in the working repo:

working/user/dyrcona/freebsd-compat

And there is this:

http://dev198.esilibrary.com/~berick/eg_freebsd.html

Hope that helps.

BTW, I am a FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD user myself.

And sorry if I come off as mean or off-putting. I tend to be terse and  
seem gruff in email.

Jason
