[Buildroot] Buildroot ARM toolchain build Error: libexpat

[Arun Reddy]

Another update.

I noticed that the error I got:

Checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lexpat... no
Checking for XML_ParserCreate in -lbsdxml... no
Configure: error: *** neither libexpat not libbsdxml could be found ***

shows -lexpat and -lbsdxml. So I tried setting up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable to include the directory where the libexpat is located.
I went ahead and did that and then did "export" with the expectation that
libexpat could now be located, but the build still fails with the same
error.

Also, I tried "enabling" expat in the configure file under
/root/buildroot/build_arm/avahi-0.6.22. I called ./configure
--enable-expat=yes, but I end up with an error with that as well, it
complains about some PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable which I cannot find or change
in the configure file.

Any ideas?
