The libxml package contains the libxml libraries. These are useful for parsing XML files.
Install libxml by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The libxml package contains libxml libraries, xmllint and xmlcatalog.
libxml provides the functions for programs to parse files that use the XML format.
