I'm also having difficulties with this issue, and while I feel that libxml could be perfect for what I need, the fact that the documentation seems both very minimal, and a bit out of date is making me wonder whether I'll be able to use it for the app I'm working on.
To reprise my situation: * searching for elements using XPath in a document with no namespace declaration works fine * searching for elements using XPath in a document that has defined a prefixed namespace declaration also works fine, provided the XPath query specifies the prefix as well as the desired element names * however I can't get _any_ search results when looking for elements in a document that has specified a namespace, but with the default/ empty prefix. Am I doing something stupid; or is this something that has been addressed in the latest head in subversion? If so is there any info on how to build the library from subversion? I did a quick checkout to have a look, and it looks like some additional hoops need to be jumped through before being able to build and install the latest head. Thanks for any information. -- sam On Dec 19 2007, 10:50 am, Yehuda Katz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having this issue as well.
