1: Problem with building nsxml
Posted by Ahmed Moustafa on 04/27/01 06:11 PM
I get the following when I try to build nsxml: 

bash-2.03# make
gcc -I/usr/local/aolserver/include -D_REENTRANT=1 -DNDEBUG=1 -g -
fPIC -Wall -Wno-unused -mcpu=ultrasparc -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS=1 -
DUSE_PTHREAD_SYSSCOPE=1 -DUSE_PTHREAD_PSHARED=1 -DHAVE_ETIME_BUG=1 -
DUSE_DUPHIGH=1 -DHAVE_FORK1=1   -c -o ns_xml.o ns_xml.c
/bin/rm -f nsxml.so
/usr/ccs/bin/ld -G -o nsxml.so ns_xml.o -lxml
ld: fatal: library -lxml: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to nsxml.so
make: *** [nsxml.so] Error 1
bash-2.03#
Would you help me, please?

Looks like you need the GNU library libxml2.

There's installation information at xmlsoft.org

Vinod,

It was already installed. And, I download it again from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libxml/libxml2-2.3.7.tar.gz and installed it again and I still get the same error message.

During the installtion, I got the following message: 


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Could be there something I need to do according to the above message?

Thanks,

The above message came during the installation of libxml2.

You probably neet to change the -lxml to -lxml2.

Tom,

Thanks a lot. That change made the compilation worked fine.
