Thread: configure: error: header file is required for XML support
Hi there,
I try to configure postgres:
/configure --prefix=/usr/local/postgresql-8.4.4/ \
--without-docdir \
--with-openssl \
--with-libxml \
--with-libxslt \
--with-libraries=/usr/local/openssl:/lib:/lib64:/usr/local/readline/lib:/usr/local/zlib/lib:/usr/local/openssl/lib64:/usr/local/libxml2/lib:/usr/local/libxslt/lib \
--with-includes=/usr/local/readline/include:/usr/local/zlib/include:/usr/local/openssl/include:/usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml:/usr/local/libxslt/include
Now even though parser.h can be found in the includes path it claims:
configure: error: header file <libxml/parser.h> is required for XML support
Any idea ?
Thanks Peter

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply. The path is correct:
# ls -l /usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39556 Sep 15 10:07 /usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h
I first used /usr/local/libxml2/include/ which did not work. Doing a find for parser.h made me change the include path.
Could possibly the version of libxml2 be an issue: 2-2.7.7 ???
Thx: Peter

so Postgres is probably looking for
/usr/local/libxml2/include/libxml2/libxml/libxml/parser.h, which I
suspect is wrong. Try removing the extra "/libxml" from the include
path.
