configure does not find libxml2

Hey guys,

I'm trying to run Ford Racing 2 on Wine. Looks like I need Windows Media Player for it, but the setup of WMP does only work if Wine has been compiled with libxml2 support.

I have installed libxml2 2.8.0 and the 32bit libraries on Slackware x86_64, but configure is still unable to find it. The same happens with libxslt 1.1.26.

The logfile shows the following:

Code: Select all

#define HAVE_LIBXML_SAX2_H 1
| /* end confdefs.h.  */
| #include <libxml/tree.h>
| 
| int
| main ()
| {
| if (sizeof ((xmlDocProperties)))
| 	    return 0;
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }
configure:9411: result: yes
configure:9426: error: libxml2 32-bit development files not found (or too old), XML won't be supported.

I don't know what I can do now. Result: yes looks like it has found libxml2, but it still throws out an error. Any ideas?

You say you installed the libraries, but did you install the development files? That's what configure can't find.

It's running. Apparently I did not install a system package, so liblzma.so was missing. The error message was a "bit" misleading, but I sorted it out. XML support is available now
