No problems here. I compiled libxml2-2.6.11 from the sources and PHP-5.0.0 and PHP-5.0.1 compiled just fine against it. Admittedly I did a bit of an unstandard install with my PHP5 package: I installed everything related to PHP in /home/php including all the latest versions of dependency stuff that PHP links against for extra features (clibpdf, curl-7.12.0, expat-1.95.7, freetype-2.1.9, ImageMagick-6.0.3, jpegsrc.v6b, libmcrypt-2.5.7, libpng-1.2.6rc5, libxml2-2.6.11, libxslt-1.1.8, mhash-0.9.1, openssl-0.9.7d, Sablot-1.0.1, tiff-v3.6.1, xml2-0.2, zlib-1.2.1). Then all that stuff is rolled up into one big PHP.rpm (or mod_php.rpm on the XTR and RaQ550) to get installed in one go in the PKG. While that creates a bigger RPM and PKG it's also easier to keep everything as current as possible while avoiding the possible troubles of updating system libraries that might be needed in their current version elsewhere. Potential points of such conflicts are zlib (also bunzip2, bzlib - not for PHP, but other popular software) and of course OpenSSL. On the RaQ550's it's libXML and libXML2 which are too old now for PHP5. Then there is of course the security aspect, especially in regards to older implementations of ranging from OpenSSL to last but not least the recent libpng issue. My guess is you're either using a faulty libxml2 RPM or the specified path is wrong. Check with "rpm -ql libxml2" if libxml is installed in /usr or /usr/local (those are the two usual locations) and set your --with-xml=/path accordingly. -- With best regards, Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Cobaltfacts mailing list posting/subscription services: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobaltfacts.com/mailman/listinfo/cobaltfacts/ Search the Archives at: http://list.cobaltfacts.com/ Visit Cobaltfacts on the web: http://www.cobaltfacts.com/
