Re^8: cpan install error for XML::LibXML::Node

I didn't compile libxml2. I got it from Red Hat rpms.

libxml2-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64
libxml2-devel-2.7.6-21.el6_8.1.x86_64
[download]

Just figured it out! I think this is a bug in the Makefile.PL. I added some print statements as suggested and ran it. It seems the makefile was only looking at the first '-I' and not all of them. I had '-I/usr/include/libxml2' as the third one. When I moved it to first, it ran successfully!

Thanks to everyone for their help! :)

It seems the makefile was only looking at the first '-I' and not all of them Possibly an issue with your quoting (or lack thereof). When giving multiple '-I' args to Makefile.PL's INC, you need to enclose them in double quotes: `perl Makefile.PL INC="-I/first/location -I/second/location"` [download] But if there's only one '-I' then you can do away with the double quotes.

Ah! I had: `o conf makepl_arg "INC=-I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/libxml2/libxml LIBS=-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/lib64 -llibxml2 -lm"` I should probably have used: `o conf makepl_arg 'INC="-I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/libxml2/libxml" LIBS="-L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/lib64" -llibxml2 -lm'` Thanks for the help! :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
