Re: [xsl] Newbie question on XSL transformations: multiple sorts on element attributes

[Rob Newman <rlnewman@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help Owen and Abel.

I copied and pasted Owen's code into a new XSL file and tried to run  
it and again got a seg-fault:

{hostname}123%> xsltproc -v -o output.xml transform.xsl input.xml
creating dictionary for stylesheet
reusing dictionary from transform.xsl for stylesheet
Added namespace: xsl mapped to http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
Segmentation fault

Checking the version of xsltproc results in:

{hostname} 124%> xsltproc -V
Using libxml 20627, libxslt 10109 and libexslt 807
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20612, libxslt 10109 and  
libexslt 807
libxslt 10109 was compiled against libxml 20612
libexslt 807 was compiled against libxml 20612

Am I using an out-of-date/invalid version?
Thanks for all the help. I know Abel recommended Saxon. I need a  
processor that runs on Linux:

{hostname}125%> uname -a
Linux ######## 2.6.8-24.25-bigsmp #1 SMP Thu Aug 24 09:57:32 UTC 2006  
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Sorry for being so dense on this. Thanks.
