xml2-config not found, can't install php
 
well, basically, whenever i try to install php 5.0.5, ./configure errors out with:

Code:
Configuring extensions
checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes
checking libxml2 install dir... no
configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.
'find / | grep xml2-config' returns nothing, and when i do 'apt-get install libxml2', it says that it is already installed, with the latest version....so...whats going on??

I'm running Debian linux in case you haven't already figured that out ;)

thx

Possibly another depencie(s) are affecting your installation process. To ensure the depenceis you can use different programs.

Firstly try to apt-get to install php 5.0.5

Code:
apt-get install php5
If it still doesn't , try the other applications which search and install all the depencies for you.

Code:
aptitude
Code:
synaptic
Still all of them doesn't work , I'd suggest you sould read this paper for the post-install debian configuration. In this papers you can find some programs which are related to depencies problem:

i'm trying to install it from the site... this is the download

php5 isn't a valid package for apt-get, but i'm not sure if i wnt it either...does it install with mysql? (it shouldn't use --without-mysql in the configure command...) the php that came with apache2 was configured without mysql so now i cant use php to connect to my mysql database, until i reinstall it...then it will hopefully work..

I'd have though it would be there somewhere, maybe its in unstable or testing and it would definately have mysql support enabled.

Anyway have you tried install libxml2-devel or something like that? If you're compiling something it needs the -devel version of that package as well as the package itself.

hi,

I'd like to know how did you solve the problem, because I have the same problem.
I'm using this sources in apt-get:
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all

Tks

Hi!
How can i install libxml2-dev in a SUN Solaris 5.8?
And where do i download the correct version for this SO?

I found this version: ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freewa...sparc-local.gz, is it compatible with my SO Version?

Yep! I'm running SuSE 10.2 and installing libxml2-devel fixed it!

Instala la libreria:

apt-get install libxml2-dev

y corre nuevamente el ./configure

Between installing libxml2-dev and libmysqlclient-dev (see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-files-230651/) I was able to get PHP 5.5.9 running. Thanks!
