Can't build gem -- native extension build fails -- can you see why?
- by marfarma
I can't figure out what is going wrong here -- any ideas??
I'm running on a Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, and have installed libxml2 and libxslt from these instructions:
http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/libxml/installation/installing_libxml_on_ubuntu_linux.php
http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/libxslt/installation/installing_libxslt_on_ubuntu_linux.php
However, I installed the latest versions:
libxslt-1.1.24
libxml2-2.7.3
The install was uneventful
-------------------- I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH ----------------------------------
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/libxslt/lib:
------------- seems like the function is present -- at least based on the output of strings ------------
/usr/local/libxslt/lib$ strings * | grep ParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
xsltParseStylesheetDoc
----------------------- But the compile still fails ----------------------------------------

libxslt is missing. try 'port install libxslt' or 'yum install libxslt-devel'
