STRANGE problem with libxml2 HELP ME... Pleas...

I have STRANGE problems with libxml2..... I'v installed the library, and i whanted to compile the examples from the "http://xmlsoft.org/examples/index.html" site.... (especially the "parse1.c' and the "parse2.c"). I can compile this files without any problems - I have the "parse1.exe' file - and going after the instructions i was trying to execute this program in the following way: "parse1.exe test1.xml" [ENTER].... Then the program crash... :confused: WHY????????


Here are some additional infos:
1. My operation system: Windows98
2. I have the Dev-C++ v4.9.7.0
3. I'v download the "libxml2-2.6.7.win32.zip" file from "http://www.zlatkovic.com/projects/libxml/" site
4. The "libxml2.dll" from "libxml2-2.6.7.win32.zip" I'v copy to "c:\windows\system" directory
5. The "*.h" files from "libxml2-2.6.7.win32.zip" I'v copy to a "c:\program files\dev-cpp\include\libxml" directory
6. The "libxml2.lib" and the "libxml2_a.lib" I'v copy to a "c:\program files\dev-cpp\lib\" directory
7. In the "Project->Project Options->Linker Opitions" I have add: "C:\Program files\Dev-Cpp\lib\libxml2.lib"
8. I'v set the path in the "Project->Project Options->Files/Directories->Library Direstories" for "C:\Program files\Dev-Cpp\lib"
9. I'v set the path in the "Project->Project Options->Files/Directories->Include Direstories" for "C:\Program files\Dev-Cpp\include\libxml"
9. In the "Project->Project Options->Compiler" I was traing to add: "-lxml2" - without any effect
10. I was trying alsow with "libxml2_a.lib" instead the "libxml2.lib" - without any effect

I've used libxml2, but only with tcl, I'm afraid I've no experience using it w/ Dev-C++. Have you tried asking in the C programming forum?

Addition: I did a search here on libxml2 and found several posts. Why don't you see if one of those might help as well?
