These are useful for parsing XML files. &lfs71_checked; 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; Additional Downloads Optional Testsuite: - This enables make check to do complete testing. libxml2 Dependencies Optional (to build and install a Python library module, additionally it is required to run the full suite of tests) Some packages which utilize libxml2 (such as GNOME Doc Utils) need the Python module installed to function properly and some packages (such as GNOME Panel) will not build properly if the Python module is not available. User Notes: If you downloaded the testsuite, issue the following command: tar xf ../xmlts20080827.tar.gz Install libxml2 by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make To test the results, issue: make check. If you have installed Python this will conclude by reporting a failure in the regression tests. The extended testsuite runs near the end of the tests, it will report a count of errors, and then report how many are expected. Now, as the root user: make install --with-history: If this option is used, it enables Readline support when running xmlcatalog or xmllint in shell mode. When using history support, make check will hang forever if either /etc/inputrc or ~/.inputrc has the option show-all-if-ambiguous or show-all-if-available turned on. --enable-shared --disable-static: This pair of switches prevents the static libraries in this package from being built and installed. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories xml2-config, xmlcatalog, and xmllint libxml2.{so,a} and optionally, the libxml2mod.{so,a} Python module /usr/include/libxml2, /usr/share/doc/libxml2-&libxml2-version;, /usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-&libxml2-version; and /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/libxml2 Short Descriptions xml2-config determines the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use libxml2. xml2-config xmlcatalog is used to monitor and manipulate XML and SGML catalogs. xmlcatalog xmllint parses XML files and outputs reports (based upon options) to detect errors in XML coding. xmllint libxml2.{so,a} libraries provide the functions for programs to parse files that use the XML format. libxml2.{so,a}
