These are useful for parsing XML files. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libxml2-md5sum; Download size: &libxml2-size; Estimated disk space required: &libxml2-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libxml2-time; libxml2 Dependencies Optional (Required to Run the Full Suite of Tests) and Optional (used for the test suite if found, but not required) and (will install a Python library module if found) Some packages which utilize libxml2 (such as GNOME Doc Utils) need the Python module installed to function properly. Installation of libxml2 Install libxml2 by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations --with-history: If this option is used, it enables readline support when running xmlcatalog in shell mode. When using history support, make check will hang forever if either /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc has the option turned on.
