Hi Heinz,

We are about to release ADCore R2-1, so I would like to get this resolved before we do.  

I think I may see the problem.  

ADCore/ADApp/commonDriverMakefile contains these lines:

PROD_LIBS_Linux         += hdf5 sz
PROD_SYS_LIBS_Linux     += tiff jpeg xml2 z m

PROD_LIBS_solaris       += hdf5 sz
PROD_SYS_LIBS_solaris   += tiff jpeg z

USR_LDFLAGS_Darwin      += -framework CoreFoundation
PROD_LIBS_Darwin        += hdf5 sz
PROD_SYS_LIBS_Darwin    += tiff jpeg z

Note that on Linux PROD_SYS_LIBS includes xml2, but on Darwin it does not.  This seems like a simple oversight, xml2 is now needed even when not using GraphicsMagick because the HDF5 file writer requires it.

Can you try changing this line:
PROD_SYS_LIBS_Darwin    += tiff jpeg z

to this:
PROD_SYS_LIBS_Darwin    += tiff jpeg xml2 z

and removing the line you added to RELEASE_LIBS.local and see if it works?

Thanks,
Mark

Adding

OP_SYS_LDLIBS += -lxml2

to

RELEASE_LIBS.local

solves the problem.
