in reply to perl module XML::CanonicalizeXML won't install - issue with make / libxml

fatal error: libxml/parser.h: No such file or directory

[download]

README:

"This module requires these other modules and libraries:

libxml2

libxml2 development headers"

So using Debian package management (the names will likely be the same/similar for SUSE):apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev. After that:

cpanm XML::CanonicalizeXML

Re^2: perl module XML::CanonicalizeXML won't install - issue with make / libxml

    Thanks Marto, thought it was something along these lines.

    Next issue, SUSE, at least this version, doesn't have apt-get. I'm used to Ubunto with apt-get and CentOS with Yum but a bit lost on this OS. An internet search pointed me to use zypper instead of apt-get - "zypper install libxml2 libxml2-dev". This claims to have upgraded libxml2, but not libxml2-dev - "Package 'libxml2-dev' not found."

    Have tested and XML::CanonicalizeXML is still giving the same error as before.

    Any thoughts/ideas?

    Thanks,

    Matt.

      I don't use SUSE, but a web search for 'zypper libxml2' shows that the package name you are looking for is libxml2-devel.

        Thanks again! I'm not very 'sysadmin' I'm afraid..!

        Now trying to install XML::Sig:

        When I check Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA I get "Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA is up to date (0.28)."

        Does anyone know anything about this?

        Thanks,
        Matt.
