Compiling XML-Parser-2.41

lfs_mm · 11-22-2011, 12:28 PM

Hello everybody

I try to compile the XML-Parser-2.41 on my lfs distribution. The library needs the EXPAT Packet which i successfully compiled/installed.
Then i tried to compile the xml parser with following statement:

Code:

perl Makefile.PM EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include

But it comes to following error message:

Code:

/sources/avahi/XML-Parser-2.41 # perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include
/sources/avahi/XML-Parser-2.41/assertlibgXGHds5G: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. Install 'expat-devel' package with your
OS package manager. See 'README'.

Or you can download expat from:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/

If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

    EXPATLIBPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find libexpat

    EXPATINCPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find expat.h

For example:

    perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include

Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.

Checking if your kit is complete...

the shared library is in the specified folder. Why should the program don't find it? Any suggestions?

Greetings.

After you installed expat, did you run ldconfig and is /usr/local/lib in your library path?

Thx. I add the path to my ld.so.conf file and run a ldconfig.
Now the output is diffrent after running with the same command -> "perl Makefile.PM EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include" :

Writing Makefile for XML::Parser::Expat
Writing Makefile for XML::Parser

Why should perl think about another architecture? It didn't work anyway. After that i tried to install intltool but it complains that the
XML::Parser was not found.
The script above says something about "Writing Makefile for XML::Parser::Expat | Writing Makefile for XML::Parser". Where should these make files be?

Greetings
