More obstacles..... Referring to libxml2, the xml-config scripts reports version 1.8.17 while "configure" states minimum version 2.6.11. I also looked at cygports site and afer 2 invocation of setup.exe where I usede the -X option, libxml2 disappeared from the download list. Now I'm wondering what I would be missing if I use --disable_libxml2 and forget about libxml2 all together.?? About setup.exe, is there a way to clear/uncheck everything when dealing with cygports? I don't like wasting time & bandwidth for throw-aways. Paul McFerrin wrote: > I have the 5.3.1 distro and also have libxml2 (2.7.4-1). There is one > major obstacle in the "configure" script.
