-lexpat bug on MacOS 10.6

[Simson Garfinkel-3]

I am building TSK3.0.1 on a clean MacOS 10.6 install

The compile fails in linking ; img_cat cannot find libexpat:

g++ -g -O2 -o img_cat img_cat.o -Wl,-bind_at_load  ../../tsk3/.libs/
libtsk3.a -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libafflib.a -lcrypto -lssl /
usr/lib/libexpat.a -lz -lncurses -lreadline
i686-apple-darwin9-g++-4.2.1: /usr/lib/libexpat.a: No such file or  
directory
make[2]: *** [img_cat] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
03:51 PM domex:~/domex/src/dist/sleuthkit-3.0.1$

Now what's really weird about this is that expat is not referenced in  
the autoconf file.  It is in this file:

./tsk3/img/libtskimg.la:dependency_libs=' -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/
lib/libafflib.la -lcrypto -lssl /usr/lib/libexpat.la -lz -lncurses -
lreadline'

And, of course, there is no libexpat.a, there is a shared library:

03:53 PM domex:~/domex/src/dist/sleuthkit-3.0.1$ ls -l /usr/lib/*expat*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  487408 May 18 10:29 /usr/lib/libexpat.

03:54 PM domex:~/domex/src/dist/sleuthkit-3.0.1$


Any thoughts?

Hi Simson,

This issue came up a while back with someone else.  If they did not  
include AFFLIB with the build, the issue went away.

The issue seems to be with the installation of libexpat. What does  
AFFLIB link against when you build it on the system?
