2N/AExtracted from the documentation:
2N/A As most UNIX libraries libxml follows the "standard":
2N/A ./configure [possible options]
2N/A At that point you may have to rerun ldconfig or similar utility to
2N/A update your list of installed shared libs.
2N/A At this point you can check that the library is properly functionning
2N/A Libxml does not requires any other library, the normal C ANSI API
2N/A should be sufficient (please report any violation to this rule you
However if found at configuration time libxml will detect and use
libz: a highly portable and available widely compression library
iconv: a powerful character encoding conversion library. It's
included by default on recent glibc libraries, so it doesn't
need to be installed specifically on linux. It seems it's
now part of the official UNIX specification. Here is one
implementation of the library which source can be found here.
3.make tests may fail on some platforms
Sometime the regression tests results don't completely match the
value produced by the parser, and the makefile uses diff to print
the delta. On some platforms the diff return breaks the compilation
process, if the diff is small this is probably not a serious problem
