Looks like you need to update the RPM... Torben Brosten wrote:
On installing libxml2 on suse6.4 2.2.19 system, I'm getting the following error:
error: failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1 is needed by libxml2-2.4.13-1 rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1 is needed by libxml2-2.4.13-1
I can't find any rpmlib from rpmfind.net. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance, Torben
PS. Here's the details of what I've done and info that may be helpful:
According to the xmlsoft.org FAQ, at: http://xmlsoft.org/FAQ.html#Installati
Problem: I can't install the libxml(2) RPM package due to failed dependancies
The most generic solution is to refetch the latest src.rpm , and rebuild it locally with
rpm --rebuild libxml(2)-xxx.src.rpm
if everything goes well it will generate two binary rpm (one providing the shared libs and xmllint, and the other one, the -devel package providing includes, static libraries and scripts needed to build applications with libxml(2)) that you can install locally.
Grabbed source libxml2 from: ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2-2.4.13-1.src.rpm
Here's the nitty gritty, in case it helps
