[Corpora-List] Xaira for Linux?

[Lou]

Pavel is quite right. You must install both ICU and xerces-c before you 
can expect xaira to compile. You may also need a couple of other odd 
things like zlib.h depending on your distro. There is also an 
experimental debian package but it may not be up to date.

We're distributing via sourceForge now so the "betatest" is officially 
finished, which is why I didn't update the web form. There's also no 
need to register -- just go to the xaira.sf.net and download the latest 
release. There is a link from the sourceforge site to the project site 
at www.xaira.org, which in turn links to the xara-preview discussion list.

But you're right, it all needs a good spring-clean. Now, if we weren't 
so busy fixing bugs...
