Re: bundling libxml2 / bundling locations

My point of view is domxml does require a newish version of libxml2. It't not going to hurt if we bundle that version with php. The configure script can even detect a version that is installed on the system. If its greater than the packaged one then it can use that one instead alsogive the user to overide the bundled libxml2 --enable-domxml=/path/to/new/xml. I really don't see any ill effects with bundling. We bundle for the people don't regulary upgrade software and we allow auto config/overriding for people that do. Why do you think that .net will do so good (becides m$ forcing it on us). They run one installer and bingo everything "works". People will say "its easy to setup". - Brad --- Markus Fischer <mfischer@guru.josefine.at> wrote: > On Thu, May 30, 2002 at 08:12:27AM +0900, Yasuo Ohgaki wrote : > > Brad Lafountain wrote: > > >Ok, > > > > > > But take ext/domxml it requires a newerversion of libxml2.
