Thread: BUG #12275: configure incorrectly tests libxml2 version
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 12275 Logged by: Greg Davidson Email address: greg.davidson@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.4.0 Operating system: mint 17.1 Description: I had to comment out the libxml2 version check to get 9.4.0 to build. Perhaps it's because of the suffix on the version number? $ ./configure --with-libxml --with-libxslt --enable-debug --enable-cassert \ --with-tcl --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib/tcl8.6 --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql-9.4.0 ... checking for xmlSaveToBuffer in -lxml2... no configure: error: library 'xml2' (version >= 2.6.23) is required for XML support $ dpkg-query -l '*xml2*' ||/ Name Version Arch Description +++-==================-=======================-======-=========================================== ii libxml2:amd64 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.4 amd64 GNOME XML library ii libxml2:i386 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.4 i386 GNOME XML library ii libxml2-dev:amd64 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.4 amd64 Development files for the GNOME XML library ii libxml2-doc 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.4 all Documentation for the GNOME XML library ii libxml2-utils 2.9.1+dfsg1-3ubuntu4.4 amd64 XML utilities P.S. I hope that the appearance of line clipping I'm seeing above is an illusion. Perhaps the bug report textentry widget should have room for 80 character wide pastes from terminals?
