Thank you, Johannes Liedtke,

I started as you suggest before trying the RPM, but couldn't figure out where to install it. I was getting can't access dir. /usr/local/src or something... on "make install"

In which directory should I install it? Should I install as root or another user for security reasons?

for "make install" you need to be root, or at least su down to root for this command: su -c "make install" that should work... Hansen

Hi all,

I'm trying to load libxml2 via rpm. Here's what I do, and what the computer replies with:

c344469-d:/tmp # rpm -i libxml2-2.4.13-1.i386.rpm 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

don't bother to find rpmlib... libxml2 is really fast&easy to build yourself... get the source and install from that... shouldn't give you any problems.
