in thread help with WebService::YouTube

it seems you are correct with your diagnosis. I get the following error when trying to install that package: The installed version of libxml2 not compatible with XML::LibXML.

    In the XML::LibXML documentation, in the README file, it says:
    XML::LibXML requires at least libxml2 2.6.16 to compile and pass all tests and at least 2.6.21 is required for XML::LibXML::Reader. For some older OS versions this means that an update of the pre-built packages is required.
    What version of libxml2 do you have? The documentation recommends using xmllint but I don't know what that is, so I found my version like this:
    lozier:~$ xml2-config
Usage: xml2-config [OPTION]

Known values for OPTION are:

  --prefix=DIR          change libxml prefix
  --exec-prefix=DIR     change libxml exec prefix
  --libs                print library linking information
  --cflags              print pre-processor and compiler flags
  --modules             module support enabled
  --help                display this help and exit
  --version             output version information
lozier:~$ xml2-config --version
2.6.23
lozier:~$

      2.6.19. I am having errors using yum to update xmllib2, there are conflicts. This is going to be a big problem... WebService::YouTube seems like a great way to get what i wanted too.

        Compile your own version of the libxml2 shared library and stick it in some useful library path... or just switch to Debian or Ubuntu ;)

        yum was an admirable attempt to emulated Debian's apt system, but the service as a whole suffers from inconsistent levels of quality in package management and co-ordination (especially with respect to multiple versions of the same library).
