Subject: Tests running against wrong version
This probably something daft from my end but all help appreciated :-) I'm installing your new version of XML-LibXML-2.0001 (cheers for the prompt tweak on the previous 'bug' by the way) which runs the perl Makefile and make fine but falls over on every test during make test...

5.8.x is very old by now - there's already 5.16.x. Why are you using such an old version? (I think XML-LibXML still supports it, but I don't feel too motivated to do so myself). Show quoted text

Fear and loathing! A friend of mine once said that “HP/UX is not UNIX and AIX is even less than that.” When I mentioned that on Freenode's #perl channel, someone told me “Wait! I thought I came up with that.” I don't feel too motivated to deal with such proprietary and poor quality UNIX-like systems. BTW, there's already AIX 7.1. Show quoted text

Perhaps libxml2 was built without XPath support, while XML::LibXML is expecting it. Show quoted text

Maybe try setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH . Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Yeah alas thats the version that comes with AIX 6.1 (see below). Yes we can look at upgrading that but thats a big can of worms. Arguably worth the effort but a huge amount of retesting of perl scripts on production servers. Show quoted text

Yep alas AIX 7.1 is not supported for Power 4 servers (ode for a hardware upgrade ;p). We're tied to AIX due to the core production software we are using though there are rumours of a windows version (not sure thats an improvement ;p) Show quoted text

I'll check these out, cheers for your help (especially under the sub optimal circumstances ;p) Martin

Your a star, LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/freeware/lib" solved everything, all tests ran to either OK or skipped as expected :-) Cheers for your help, much appreciated Martin

I'm glad to hear it. I think I can now apply for my "AIX Master/Ninja/Rockstar/Pirate/Jedi/Guru" certificate. Not sure I'll be proud of getting it, though. Show quoted text

You're welcome. Note that you'll need to have this environment variable set when using XML::LibXML from now on, so put it in somewhere permanent. Anyway, I'm resolving this ticket. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
