I did what you told. But could not find the entry HasExpat in
hosts.def. Is it alright? I installed expat manually from the source
itself, by changing the mode of configure file in expat directory to
777 and then installed it. It was successful.

But it seems, something else is missing as well, as I am getting the
following errors:
