Without telling us (a) where and how you installed xeresc or (b) where Eclipse is installed, it's a little hard to give accurate directions for solving.

However - put simply, the compiler doesn't know where to find the files.

I recently used Code::Blocks on my Desktop machine to try a project I'd been working on with my laptop. When I did this, much to my horror - gdiplus.h wasn't found. Nor for that matter was glext.h and a few others.

Now, in the #includes section of my code these files were included like so:

C++

#include <gdiplus.h>
#include <GL/gdiplus.h>

Since I have Code::Blocks installed in C:\Program Files(x86)\CodeBlocks, the compiler - MingGW resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW
This meant that I had to:
(a) copy gdiplus.h to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\gdiplus.h
(b) copy glext.h to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include\GL\glext.h

I am using Ubuntu 11.04.

Path for all the include files is usr/include/

And I have installed xercesc inside usr/include/

The way I am calling the files in my code ::

#include <xercesc dom="" domdocument.h="">
#include <xercesc dom="" domdocumenttype.h="">

Where I have added it in eclipse ::

In eclipse -> Project-> Properties ->C/C++ Build ->Settings ->GCC C++ Linker - Libraries
I have added the xercesc in the right and side window.

Sorry, can't see the #includes - the angle brackets have been munched by the editor.

Well, you have told the compiler where to find the library files (.so extension from memory), BUT they aren't even being searched for (yet) since they're used during the step _after_ compilation.

Can you confirm the results of the following command?

ls /usr/include/xercesc

Hmmmm.
Well, I'm about out of ideas. Not near my desktop with linux on it right now.

Have you tried the fully-qualified name of the include files?

Something like:

#include "/usr/include/dom/DOM.h" (don't forget - linux filenames ARE case-sensitive)

Yes .. Still of no help. Will try after sometime. If you have any idea will be waiting for ur reply.

Thanks for looking into the problem.

Bye

Ah, haha hahahaha hahahahahahahahahah HA!

I think you forgot something my friend.. Did you actually have a look either with the File Manager, or via the command-line at what is inside the /usr/include/xercesc/dom directory?

I've just downloaded the binary release for linux x86_64.
Guess what I found when I looked inside?

include/xercesc/dom/DOM.hpp

Yup, that's right - it's a .hpp file, not a .h

Enjoy!
