Bug #4410 for XML-GDOME: Makefile will die with gdome2 version 0.8.0 or higher

Mon Nov 17 12:08:28 2003 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

Makefile will die with gdome2 version 0.8.0 or higher

In XML-GDOME-0.83 Because of this: die "VERSION" unless $major == 0 && $minor == 7 && $point >= 2; ( Makefile.PL line 20 ) The Makefile.PL will die if the version reported by gdome-config is greater than 7 ( 0.8.0 ) Was this intentional ? Nothing in the docs metions not using a version higher than 7.9, only not using a version lower than 7.2

Hi, I haven't tested XML::GDOME with 0.8.0 - so I know of no reason why it shouldn't work with gdome2 0.8.0. Have you been able to get it to work if you change to die "VERSION" unless $major == 0 && $minor >= 7 && $point >= 2; By working i mean it passes "make test" If it does work with 0.8.0, then please let me knoe and I will update Makefile.PL Thanks, TJ [guest - Mon Nov 17 12:08:28 2003]: Show quoted text

I did change the Makefile.PL to install it by commenting that version line, but I hit dependancies on libxslt versions, so I'm just about to install a more recent libxslt now. No, that wouldn't Makefile.PL change proposed wouldn't work though... die "VERSION" unless $major == 0 && $minor >= 7 && $point >= 2; 8.0, 8.1 wouldn't pass.

Yikes, bad memory. I hit libxslt issues installing XML::GDOME::XSLT, not XML::GDOME. XML::GDOME installed fine, but I haven't done much testing with it. G

Not here (perl 5.8.1, GDOME 0.8.0). See attached patch for my Makefile.PL workaround. However test 6 in t/01_basic.t fails: # Failed test 6 in t/01_basic.t at line 45 # t/01_basic.t line 45 is: ok($@ =~ m!NAMESPACE_ERR!); I checked and the eval block doesn't die, there's no exception thrown. Also, there's another warning from t/11_encode.t: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at t/11_encode.t line 39.

Which version of libxml2 are you running? Perhaps there was a change in the way that libxml2 or gdome2 throws namespare errors? Show quoted text

Probably, dunno. (Please add me to Cc ticket watchers for this bug, I'm not able to do it myself.)

This should be fixed in XML::GDOME version 0.84 according to the changelog.
