OGR Interlis driver does not compiler with Xerces 2.8.0

[mloskot]

Today, Christian Schaffer reported problems with building GDAL 1.4.2 with Xerces 2.8.0 support:  Configure on Solaris 10 --with-xerces fails.

Another user is experiencing similar problems with older Xerces 2.7.0:  problems compiling gdal with xerces

This bug is similar to #1577 that's already fixed.

First tests confirm there are problems with unresolved types and some headers are not included.

Updated configure.in to report detected Xerces version (r12081).

Fixed ILI driver by adding missing Xerces headers. Successfully tested on Linux with Xerces 2.7.0, 2.8.0 and 3.0.0 (SVN).

I'm closing this ticket as fixed.

I've forgot to add an important note. Obviously, GDAL has been fixed in SVN only, so GDAL 1.4.2 release will stay infected and not working with Xerces 2.8.0, unfortunately. I'm sorry for troubles.

And one more comment, I decided to check GDAL 1.4.2 with Xerces 2.7.0 and I confirm it works very well:

mloskot@dog:~/dev/gdal/release/gdal-1.4.2$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
/home/mloskot/dev/gdal/release/gdal-1.4.2:/usr/local/xerces-2.7.0/lib:/usr/local/lib

mloskot@dog:~/dev/gdal/release/gdal-1.4.2$ ldd ./ogr/ogrinfo | grep xerces
        libxerces-c.so.27 => /usr/local/xerces-2.7.0/lib/libxerces-c.so.27 (0xb6303000)

mloskot@dog:~/dev/gdal/release/gdal-1.4.2$ ./ogr/ogrinfo --formats | grep GML
  -> "GML" (read/write)

Summarizing, GDAL 1.4.2 release builds and works with Xerces 2.7.0, but does not build with 2.8.0.

All fixes for this ticket have been ported to the branches/1.4 (12088), so they will be included in 1.4.3 release.
