1: Insalling OpenACS - libXML
Posted by Alfred Essa on 01/21/03 03:16 AM
I am following Vinod Kurup's excellent documentation for installing OpenACS. I am at the point of installing AOL Web Server but am stuck at the following point in the documentation:
--------------------------------------------
Install libxml2 & headers

In order for nsxml to compile, you need libxml2 (available from http://xmlsoft.org). On Debian, this can be installed by doing apt-get install libxml2-dev. Users of other distributions can download rpms from rpmfind.net. You'll need the libxml2 and libxml2-devel packages.
-------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to install on RedHat. Can someone explain to a clueless user what the steps are for installing "libxml2 and libxml2" There are multiple versions and I am not sure what and how to install.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't libxml2 included in newer Red Hat distributions? I guess you can skip that part. I don't see Joel use it  either in his openacs-4.5-quick-guide (http://aufrecht.org/openacs-4.5-quick-guide/ch02s02.html).

Or do a search for "libxml2" and "libxml2-devel" at:

http://www.rpmfind.net/

And choose the correct package for your version of RedHat.
