Xerces usage under Eclipse CDT..

Hello Everyone,

I am an unexperienced Linux developer currently tying to implement a
binary coder for XML metadata in c++. I am using Linux (Ubuntu) OS as
well as Eclipse (including CDT) as application development system.
After i ran some Xerces samples successfully in the shell, I tried to
set up my own little DOM XML parser, similar to the ones implemented in
the samples..
Unfortunately, even the intitialization of the XMLPlatformUtils fails
with an error message saying that XMLPlatformUtils is not declared..
Quite apparently it seems to be a problem with the include or library
pathes but after checking them multiple times and even after setting
the environmental variables LC_LIBRARY_PATH as well as XERCESCROOT to
the desired values as described in the xerces documentation, the
problem still occures. I am starting to become clueless what the issue
might be? Actually non of the Xerces function can be called properly.
Does somebody know whether there is any hidden setting in Eclipse
regarding the <includes> that i might have forgotten to check? Must be
an Eclipse setting as the samples ran without any problems..

Any comment is appreciated !!

P.S. the header files are included in the source codes and dont lead to
any error message in the compiler..!!
