Re^7: XML::LibXSLT on OS X install problem

Now, I've got tree.h (and related headers) on my system in two places: /sw/include/libxml2/libxml/tree.h and /sw/include/gnome-xml/tree.h

The question is, which one and how to get it in the Makefile?

I'd say the build wants the libxml/tree.h, but it looks like you have one more directory layer under /sw/include than the build is expecting. Is it the case that "/sw/include/libxml/" does not exist? (If it does exist, what is that?)

If there currently is no "/sw/include/libxml" directory on your machine, then the next thing to try (using the unix shell) is:

cd /sw/include
ln -s libxml2/libxml  libxml
[download]

That creates a symbolic link whose absolute path is "/sw/include/libxml", and whose target (the absolute path that it links to) is "/sw/include/libxml2/libxml". Once that is done, go back to build directory and try again (maybe starting with just "make" will suffice). The build should (I hope) be able to find the header files it's looking for now.

(It's not a "make" thing, it's a path thing. You can go ahead and learn more about "make" anyway, but don't expect it to be a quick study.)

Thanks graff. I don't know why, but I figured it wasn't kosher to use a symlink, that there must be some variable to set in the Makefile. Thanks for all your help. Make worked just fine this time. ---------- `Using perl 5.8.1-RC3 unless otherwise noted. Apache/1.3.33 (Darwin) unless otherwise noted.
