Hi,
This is someting for the experts to see and conclude the cause:
When I was trying to install 'gnome-print-0.37', 'libxml-1.8.17' had already
been installed in prefix '/usr'. But I got the following error:
Unknown library `xml'
checking for libxml (gnome-xml) version >= 1.8.8... Unknown library `xml'
configure: error: You need at least libxml 1.8.8 for this version of
gnome-print.
I re-installed 'libxml-1.8.17' in '/usr', thinking that earlier installation
may not have been proper. On trying to install 'gnome-print-0.37', after
this, the same error persisted. Just on a hunch (no explicit reason), I
reinstalled 'libxml-1.8.17' with '/opt/gnome-1.4' prefix. This time, on
installing 'gnome-print-0.37', it went through like a shot. No errors.
Will be glad to know what could have gone wrong earlier on?
Also, would there be any fallouts for other packages due to two separate
installs of
'libxml-1.8.17' ?
Thanks and Regards
Randhir Phagura
