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 --disable-static && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install --with-history: If this switch is used, it enables Readline support when running xmlcatalog or xmllint in shell mode. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories xml2-config, xmlcatalog and xmllint libxml2.so and optionally, the libxml2mod.so 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 provides functions for programs to parse files that use the XML format. libxml2.so
