My guess is that he's got the wrong version of the library. Maybe the
SunOS 4.1.x version?

PS: Recently I've been receiving questions on XForms to my private
email rather than to the list. While I get a sometimes perverse
enjoyment from researching and answering XForms questions from the
list, I don't wish to be assumed to be the XForms answerbot. XForms
related mail sent directly to me rather than the list (unless
specifically requested) will be deleted and ignored. -- thanx -- spl
