The problem is that you use g++ to compile the example but the Xerces-C++
library was built with Sun CC. If you want to use Sun CC (as you indicated
in your previous email), then you should do this:

$ make clean
$ make CXX=/share/mercury/SunStudio12/12/SUNWspro/prod/bin/CC

Alternatively, if you want to use g++, then you will need to build
Xerces-C++ with this compiler. The Xerces-C++ project page has the
instructions:
