Hi Steve,
 
First of all, thank you for adding the new packages to Sunfreeware. I have an interesting discovery for you.
 
I have downloaded and installed the new libxml2-2.6.26 package for x86/Solaris 10 from sunfreeware on my AMD x86 computer. Before I did that, I uninstalled the original compiled libxml2 (libxml2-2.6.23) before proceeding with your new package.
 
Then I tried to compile php5, but the same problem came back. I tried other avenues to make it work, but it didn't help, so I removed the package and re-compiled the same source code from the source browser from OpenSolaris and it worked. It has become very clear that the libxml2 code may be dependent on specific hardware (motherboard). Mine is AMD 1GHz, made in 2001. I suspect your working version is based on other platform probably an Intel machine?
 
It looks like some supporting tools may have to be compiled to fit for the right platform. I will update my comment in the OpenSolaris discuss forum shortly.
 
Cheers

 
Trevor Maggs

I have just added the libxml2-2.6.26 packages for
SPARC/Solaris 2.5-10 and x86/Solaris 8-10 to
sunfreeware.

Trevor -

I am, in fact, doing this exact thing right now.  Barring any problems,
I should have this done in the next few days or less.

Hi Steve,
 
Thank you for your email. I have just submitted my message to the discussion forum in regard to my problem with libxml2 and php5 installation on my Solaris 10 x86 platform. You can read what I have discussed there, but yes, I suggest you download the latest version of libxml2 from OpenSolaris, compile and package it as a new Sun package. Is it possible?
 
The newly compiled version of libxml2 did actually resolve the php5 install problem.
 
Thank you for your help.

Your best bet may to email me and I will produce the packages
you need or at least assist you with any software you get from
my sunfreeware site and need to integrate with software from other
sites.  I am always very happy to do this.  If software needs to
be updated on my site, I will do that.

Forgive me, I am very new to this OpenSolaris website, I noticed you mentioned the source browser. I just had a look at it and found it has the lastest libxml2 source code (2.6.23). Does it mean the best way is to download the source code from that and compile rather than using the SunFreeware package?
