Error only on using xalan:evaluate - error Could not compile stylesheet

XSL does not compile when and only I use xalan:evaluate.

    sysProps.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory", "org.apache.xalan.xsltc.trax.SmartTransformerFactoryImpl");

XSLT snippet

    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan" exclude-result-prefixes="xalan">
