XML-LibXML problem

Docs say I need:

XML-LibXML (1.60)

I have perl-XML-LibXML-1.58-5

All I found on CPAN wass 1.63

That should be good.

Nope, can't build it.

perl Makefile.PL dies with:

enable native perl UTF8

running xml2-config...

using fallback values for LIBS and INC

options:

LIBS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lm'

INC='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include'

If this is wrong, Re-run as:

$ /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL LIBS='-L/path/to/lib' INC='-I/path/to/include'

looking for -lxml2... no

looking for -llibxml2... no

libxml2 not found

Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line

Or get libxml2 from

http://xmlsoft.org/

If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel

RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.

Looking in /usr/lib I see:

ls -l /usr/lib/libxml2*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 24 06:44 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 -> libxml2.so.2.6.26

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1247808 Mar 14 13:46 /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.26

That looks plausible. Don't know enough about libraries to be sure.

Let's try the 1.58 using the 1.58 version:

username and password are in the environment variables

vmcreate.pl --server 12.166.198.130 --filename /tmp/tmpLKhf3K

Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /home/drew/Desktop/appliance/viperltoolkit/apps/vm/vmcreate.pl line 12.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/drew/Desktop/appliance/viperltoolkit/apps/vm/vmcreate.pl line 12.

However there is a:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/LibXML/Parser.pod

Not sure where to go from here.

Forgot to mentions it's on a CentOS5 box with all current updates.

I'm having the same problem with libxml, libxml2, and libxml-devel, although they are all installed, it doesn't find them. I'm running on SLES 9 SP3.
