It will be great in the future too. After some apt-get voodoo, I managed to get libxml2-dev version 2.6.1 (and its dependencies) installed. (I got libxml2-dev from the backports...) The AxKit install through CPAN can find the xml2-config thing and it runs alright, but now the perl modules (XML::LibXSLT and XML::LibXML) this version of AxKit (1.6.2) is trying to install complain that this version of libxml2-dev isn't what they expect and warn that failures and strange stuff might occur. Any ideas? Again, thanks for all your help. -- Aubrey Hutchings [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
