Ensure the file expat_erl.so is compiled and installed

I compiled and installed ejabberd 2.0.0-rc1 from source code. It ran correctly, and I could create an account and login.

Then I stopped ejabberd, deleted the file /var/lib/ejabberd/priv/lib/expart_erl.so and started ejabberd again. When I tried to connect with the same Jabber client, ejabberd complained a lot in the log files:

=INFO REPORT==== 4-Feb-2008::10:57:23 ===

exec: 1: expat_erl: not found

You should check the file expat_erl.so was compiled and installed correctly. If not, maybe you need to install the library 'Libexpat 1.95 or higher' and recompile and install ejabberd.
