Re: [microdc-devel] Problem compiling XML stuff on debian sarge

[Sebastian Ewert]

Hi,

I made two tests:

First:
I did as you said. The output is in the archive. Basically configure finds 
the libxml2 stuff but make outputs errors regarding undeclared stuff.

Second:
I uninstalled libxml2 and libxml2-dev and I compiled current libxml2 and 
installed it to /usr/local. I ran ldconfig and checked the output that 
libxml2 is found under /usr/local/lib

configure seems to recognize it there, a './configure | grep -i xml' delivers:

checking for xml2-config... /usr/local/bin/xml2-config

Also the make output shows that the include dir for libxml2 under /usr/local 
is used, so I think libxml2 is being recognized.

But make generates errors and no binary is made.


Included are four files with output of configure and make. It's compressed 
because I didn't know how you would react if I send plain.

Thanks for any more hints...
