I have been trying to compile php4 with --with-dom option, but without success.

I installed libxml2 using rpm and from source, but php still cannot find it and complains during 'configure' .

Any advise?

I'm not familar with that option, but must of the options let you do this:

--with-option=/path/to/option

I did 'locate' and confirmed that libxml2 libraries are at /usr/lib.

And did --with-dom=/usr/lib but without success. Maybe if someone can point as to what file php is is looking for, then I will try again...

Thanks

make sure when you run ./configur you have --with-dom=/path/to/isntalled-prefix also check and make sure when do you a 'locate' that the path to the .so files and such are in /etc/ld.so.conf if the path isn't just add the path and run /sbin/./ldconfig and try again.

You make also want to do a:

make clean

or rm your config.cache (I believe that is the name). If not, the configure script will remember things from the previous configure and it won't work correctly.

I am learning and hopefully fast.

After going through documentation and suggestions, I am still stuck and php still cannot locate libxml2 library.

I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks folks!
