Bug 54351

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686)

Description of problem:
Rebuilt the libxml2-2.4.5-1.src.rpm on my RH7.1 system, installed both the
resulting RPMs.  I then attempted to rebuild the php-4.0.6-8.src.rpm
against it.   During the various checks, I received the error "Please
reinstall the libxml >= 2.2.7 distribution" and the rebuild fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On RH7.1 system, obtain and rebuild libxml2-2.4.5-1.src.rpm.
2. Install the resulting libxml2-2.4.5-1.i386.rpm and
libxml2-devel-2.4.5-1.i386.rpm.
3. After obtaining php-4.0.6-8.src.rpm, do: rpm --rebuild
php-4.0.6-8.src.rpm

	

Actual Results:  Rebuild fails with error "Please reinstall the libxml >=
2.2.7 distribution"

Expected Results:  PHP should have found the libxml2 libraries in their
default locations and compiled without error.

Additional info:

I opened another bug report (54301) and was told that php needed to be
using the xml2-config that is provided by the libxml2 package.  I unrolled
the SRPM for php and grep'd all the files (including the spec) for
"xml2-config" but found no reference.

Earlier, in an effort to fix this, I patched libxml2 to install in
/usr/include/libxml instead of /usr/include/libxml2/libxml, but was told
the original installation was not a bug, but a feature, and that php must
find its compile-time parameters from xml2-config.

I'm at a loss as to how to make this work.  With my "patched" version of
libxml2, php rebuilds with zero errors, but as this doesn't match any of
your provided SRPMs, something else must be wrong.
