You need to link against libxml2.so . Please install the libxml2-dev or libxml2-devel package or whatever and try again. Also note that perl-5.14.2 was end-of-lifed and you should use perl-5.16.x or preferably perl-5.18.x instead. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

Compilation succeeded, so this cannot be the issue. Also this in th configuration step looks strange: running xml2-config...ok (2.8.0) Checking for ability to link against xml2...yes but later: Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lxml2 Regards, Slaven

Thanx for the reply. Installed already: ron@zigzag:~$ sudo aptitude search libxml2 [sudo] password for ron: v libglobus-libxml2 v libglobus-libxml2-dev i A libxml2 p libxml2-dbg i libxml2-dev p libxml2-doc i A libxml2-utils p libxml2-utils-dbg i A python-libxml2 p python-libxml2-dbg v python2.6-libxml2 v python2.6-libxml2-dbg v python2.7-libxml2 v python2.7-libxml2-dbg perlbrew says V 5.18./2/ is not yet available, and it's my policy to wait for a *.2.

Thanx for the reply. Yes, curious. From the other msg you'll see libxml2 is installed. Also: ron@zigzag:~$ find /usr -name libxml2.\* /usr/share/aclocal/libxml2.m4 /usr/share/pyshared/libxml2.py /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.8.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libxml2.py /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/libxml2.pyc /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libxml2.py /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libxml2.pyc Ergo, I am confused :-(. -- Ron Savage http://savage.net.au/ Ph: 0421 920 622

No. Nothing is resolved yet, that above is just an ugly hack. What about the strange contradicting messages in Makefile.PL regarding the libxml2 detection? Maybe it's related somehow? Regards, Slaven Show quoted text

I'd sure like to know why the lib isn't found when needed. Does the make file need to be tweaked? And perhaps an FAQ item needs to be added to the docs for us Debian 7.2 users? Show quoted text

I'm wondering whether Debian/Ubuntu's multiarch support is triggering the problem — perhaps the Makefile.PL finds the 64-bit library, but tries to link against the 32-bit version, or something like that? I'm afraid I can't investigate this myself, but maybe this message will help someone else track down the real problem. -- Aaron Crane

Sorry to drudge this up, but I'm attempting to install XML::LibXSLT::Easy on my Web server (which is amd64) and running into this issue too.

Shlomi: Apologies, but it appears that this is still broken in Debian, and I think I see why now... I attempted to report it to the Debian distribution, but either something goofed or they deleted it without correspondence. In any case, I appear to have found an old bug report on the topic: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=689168 According to that bug (dated 2012) it looks like the Debian package maintainer either doesn't understand the purpose of xml2-config or doesn't think it should be used as linker flags... It doesn't quite make sense to me, but it is what it is for now. Do you think it could be possible to patch XML::LibXML to use pkg-config on Debian (and/or maybe try both xml2-config and pkg-config to figure out which one works?) to possibly get this working for Debian users without user hacks? I might even be motivated to help out with it as time allows since I am running Debian and have a strong interest in using this and related modules on my Web site. Let me know your ideas, Shlomi.

Hi Brandon I too run Debian. And which finds both xml2-config and pkg-config. I have V 2.0117 installed, and cpanm had no trouble just now installing V 2.0118. I run stable, not testing, so I'm wondering how to identify the circumstances triggering your issue. On 07/02/15 09:59, Brandon McCaig via RT wrote: Show quoted text

I'm running stable (wheezy) as well, but my system is multiarch. It's a 64-bit host, but it also has 32-bit software installed. That is important for this to affect you. I can find both xml2-config and pkg-config, but neither one reveals where to find libxml2.so et. al. $ /usr/bin/xml2-config --cflags --libs -I/usr/include/libxml2 -L/usr/lib -lxml2 $ /usr/bin/pkg-config --cflags --libs libxml-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -lxml2 $ find /usr -name 'libxml*' /usr/share/doc/libxml-xpathengine-perl /usr/share/doc/libxml2 /usr/share/doc/libxml-twig-perl /usr/share/doc/libxml2-utils /usr/share/doc/libxml-parser-perl /usr/share/doc/libxml2-dev /usr/share/man/man3/libxml.3.gz /usr/share/lintian/overrides/libxml2 /usr/share/aclocal/libxml2.m4 /usr/share/doc-base/libxml-parser-perl /usr/include/libxml2 /usr/include/libxml2/libxml /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2.8.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 Note that libxml2.a and libxml2.so* are installed into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in a Debian multiarch system (or at least mine). xml2-config appears to think they are in /usr/lib/ and pkg-config (I see now) doesn't output any library directory options at all... Thinking about it I would have expected /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to be in the default linker path though... I'm a little confused at the moment, but I'll blame lack of sleep. I know that XML::LibXML and family build and installs fine in a 32-bit Debian system (or did the last time I tried, which was no more than 6 months ago).. $ cpanm XML::LibXML --> Working on XML::LibXML Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXML-2.0118.tar.gz ...

Mine is a 64-bit setup. uname -a gives: Linux zigzag 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.63-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux I do not think I have any 32-bit software installed. Show quoted text

I ran into this as well today. Unfortunately I do not have the leisure to get to the bottom of it but I want to at least paste the relevant conversation from IRC since there are a couple promising hints from Leon in there that I haven’t seen here yet: 10:22 * aristotle is currently fighting with RT #89540 10:22 <aristotle> (cf. RT #81291 as well) 10:25 <leont> First thought: "I wonder if LibList is at fault" 10:25 <leont> Well, it is surely involved, question is if it is the buggy part 10:26 <leont> The "Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lxml2" is LL deciding the library doesn't exist, but given that xml2-config has already decided it does exist it must be wrong 10:28 <aristotle> any ideas how to debug? 10:31 <leont> The printf method on ExtUtils::LibList::Kid may be the easiest :-/ 10:33 <leont> perl -V:libpth may be enlightening too 10:35 <aristotle> doesn’t list /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu which is where libxml2.so hangs out 10:36 <leont> You need a -L$path in the LIBS 10:37 <leont> e.g. LIBS => [ "-L$path -lxml "] 10:39 <leont> In theory, line 780 of the Makefile.PL should take care of that 10:39 <leont> printing the value of $config->{LIBS} after that should give a lot of information 10:45 <aristotle> what is $path in -L$path … and at that point I bruteforced it with the symlink as given above and ran into something else and basically ran out of time to pursue this further. 11:25 <aristotle> one thing that comes to mind now is 11:27 <aristotle> this perl was built on a much earlier Debian, either 6/squeeze or possibly as far back as 5/lenny 11:27 <aristotle> (I upgraded the machine to Debian 8 recently) 11:28 <aristotle> maybe there was no /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu at the time … in which case this is the relevant hint: 11:07 <leont> The crude fix is to hand-edit the value for libpth in Config_heavy … and that is also what worked around the problem for me for now. That’s about as much as I can contribute. Hope it helps.
