R help - Jun 2004 - [StatDataML] compile error

Hi,

sorry if this is OT here. I'm trying to compile StatDataML[1] to
import Matlab data into R. The R part works fine but compiling
the Matlab part exits with this error message (following the
INSTALL instructions: autoconf -> ./configure -> make):

,----[ patrick at trurl:~/src/statdatml/StatDataML/MatOct> make ]
| make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/patrick/src/statdatml/StatDataML/MatOct/matlab'
[...]
| mex readsdml.c    -Dmatlab
| readsdml.c:26:27: libxml/parser.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
[...]
`----

libxml2 is installed:

,----[ patrick at trurl:~/src/statdatml/StatDataML/MatOct> locate
libxml/parser.h ]
| /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
`----

Can somebody give me a pointer if there's anything else I need
to install to get StatDataML running? Do I need to configure xml
somehow?

I'm running current Matlab (6.5SP1) and R 1.9.1 alpha on a linux
box (SuSE 8.2Prof).

JFTR:

Thanks to the help of David Meyer I was able to solve this
problem. One has to add the following lines to ~/.bashrc:

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libxml2"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libxml2"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lm"


Andy Liaw alternatively gave me a pointer to the package
`R.matlab' <URL:http://www.braju.com/R/> which can also import
data from Matlab.

Thanks to both.

Patrick
