Bug 122724 – php 5.1, XML-RPC extension requires LIBXML extension

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Helge Haugland 2006-02-13 13:02:37 UTC]

There should be a nicer way to inform the user that you need xml if you have xmlrpc in your use-flags.

Trying to get the relevant last lines of emerge output:

checking whether to enable XML support... no
checking libexpat install dir... no
checking for XMLReader support... no
checking for XMLRPC-EPI support... yes
checking libexpat dir for XMLRPC-EPI... no
checking iconv dir for XMLRPC-EPI... no
configure: error: XML-RPC extension requires LIBXML extension, add --enable-libxml

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Fixed in CVS now, the "xmlrpc" USE flag depends on the "xml" USE flag, thanks for reporting this!
Best regards, CHTEKK.
