Issues with Redhat 4 Postgresql 8.4 and support of libxml

From
araza@esri.com
Date:
What are the issues with Redhat 4 in terms of supporting libxml? I build PostgreSQL 8.4 with --with-libxml option but
stillgetting the following error. 

STATEMENT:  INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, '<foo>abc</foo>');
ERROR:  unsupported XML feature
LINE 1: INSERT INTO test VALUES (1, '<foo>abc</foo>');
                                    ^
DETAIL:  This functionality requires the server to be built with libxml support.
HINT:  You need to rebuild PostgreSQL using --with-libxml.

This is what I have done.

1- ./configure --prefix=/net/volks/volks2/pg84 --with-libxml
2- gmake
3- gmake install

This is where I have my libxml2 lib

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 17 Nov 19 10:29 /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.32

I built libxml2.so (version 2.6.30) from source code.

Thanks for any help.

You probably need to tell postgresql to compile against the specific new
version of libxml that you built from source.

If you are using libxml2-devel package from Red Hat repository, it won't
work. The libxml2 version in RHEL4 is not enough for xml support.

Either upgrade to RHEL5, or compile a newer version of libxml2 on your
system and build PostgreSQL against it.

"...compile against the specific new version of libxml.."

And where I can specify this version? I already tried --with-includes and --with-libraries option.

I think you are not actually running the version you built.
It should not be possible to get that error out of a backend that
was built with --with-libxml.  If it couldn't find libxml, or
found a version that was too old, the complaints would look different
than this.

Did you install the new version?  restart the server?
make sure you are connecting to that server and not some other one?
