#36628 [NEW]: libxml2-related error msg could be more helpful

From: spam01 at pornel dot net Operating system: * PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: *Compile Issues Bug description: libxml2-related error msg could be more helpful Description: ------------ As in bug #26277 I've stumbled few times on ./configure error: "configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation." This suggests libxml2 installation, but: > yum install libxml2 ... libxml2 is installed and is the latest version. I think it would be much more helpful if that message mentioned that libxml2-devel package is needed as well. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36628&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36628&r=mysqlcfg
