libxslt port build problem

[Colin-57]

Hi,
I've been unable to upgrade libxslt for a while on my installation of
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p12
It always tells me the following:

checking for libxml libraries >= 2.6.27... configure: error: Version
2.6.23 found. You need at least libxml2 2.6.27 for this version of libxslt

I can find no information on where it is getting the information that
2.6.23 is installed because pkg_info shows only libxml2-2.7.6 (the
current port) as installed.

I don't really know anything about libxml2 so I assume there's some
leftover bits from an old version somewhere..can you point me in the
right direction to clean it up?

Thanks
Colin.

Just 'portupgrade -f libxml2' should do the trick. (Or what every tool
you would use to force the re-installation of a port). Then upgrade
libxslt. At least this has worked for me.

Thanks for the reply Kevin,
I have already done a full rebuild including recompiling libxml however I didn't use portupgrade. I've just tried the way you say and that has unfortunately not made any difference.

Oh and as a side note, are there any archived for this list? The FreeBSD Gnome page lists freebsd-gnome and has a search box that points to a Russian site but I was wondering if there's a browseable archive?

Cheers,
Colin.

Show me output of pkg-config libxml-2.0 --modversion, please.

Rats. This has always worked for me.

The configure script, at about line 15800, does the check by issuing the
command 'xml2-config --version'. It should be using the xml2-config in
/usr/local/bin, but it does several operations to determine exactly what
command to use, so something might be causing it to use an old one.

First, try entering '/usr/local/bin/xml2-config --version'. If that
reports the correct version, try 'locate xml2-config' to see if there is
another xml2-config on the system.

Archives are found a number of places, but the official one is

Apparently there are one or two old versions knocking around:

ted# /opt/xml2/bin/xml2-config --version
2.7.3
ted# /usr/bin/xml2-config --version
2.6.23
ted# /scripts/cpan_sandbox/x86_64/xml2-config --version
2.6.23
ted# /root/installd/scripts/cpan_sandbox/x86_64/xml2-config --version
2.6.23
ted# /usr/local/bin/xml2-config --version
2.7.6

The old versions must have either been installed from some other source
or not deleted properly by the ports during upgrade. What's the best way
to clean them up as I assume its best to only have the one version running!

Something rather odd has bitten your system. Thee is no reason that any
port would install files on /usr/bin. It looks to me like someone
installed libxml2 from place other than ports and it spattered stuff in
odd places.

/opt is a place several Unix-like systems install things. I know Solaris
does. The /root/installd and /scripts locations, I don't know
about. Since all are showing 2.6.23, all were probably done at the same
time.

One scheme would be to take the output of 'pkg_info -L libxml2-2.7.6 and
look for these files outside of /usr/local/. Time consuming, but could
be scripted fairly easily. Any of these files outside of /usr/local or
/usr/ports should be deleted.

Batter still would be to re-install world AFTER deleting the contents of
/usr/bin, /usr/include and /usr/lib and manually deleting
/etc/xml2Conf.sh if it is there. (Note that you will probably be unable
to run 'make installworld' after blowing away these directories, so you
will need to re-install them from another system. possibly a live
CD. I'll admit to never having tried this, though.

Thanks for the info, I'm starting to figure some of this out.
It looks like the 2.6.23 files were built when the OS was installed from
the timestamps on the files
I'm running some scripts to find all the offending files, checked the
list and then removed them.
I've also dug up some 2.7.2 files that seem to be linked to Apache so a
full house clean, reinstall the port and now libxslt will build and upgrade.
Many thanks.
Colin.
