Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / July 2004XML::LibXML install on Mac?
Hi all, I am using XML::LibXML and so far did all the testing on my Linux web server (meaning that I had to be online to test). Now I would like to set my Mac up for local development - is it possible to install XML::LibXML on a Mac (Panther)? Can I just go ahead and install it from CPAN? If not, is there an easy way to check which CPAN modules work on a Mac? Ingo > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > If not, is there an easy way to check which CPAN modules work on a Mac? The easy way is to try to install it via CPAN and see whether it works. In principle most things work. -Ken > I am using XML::LibXML and so far did all the testing on my Linux web > server (meaning that I had to be online to test).

It's been a while since I last built it, but if memory serves it should build cleanly. You're using Panther, so the low-level C library it needs is already included - if you were using Jaguar or earlier, it would be more difficult. An alternative is the CamelBones "Fat Camel" package, and the related "XMLKit" package. That will install Perl 5.8.4, along with a long list of XML-related modules. The full list is in the original announcement here: <http://tinyurl.com/4h7e6> I'm working on an updated package with the recently-released Perl 5.8.5, too. > If not, is there an easy way to check which CPAN modules work on a Mac? Most of them work just fine. It can't hurt to search the list archives for the name of the module you're thinking about - if there are problems, they're often discussed here: <http://www.mail-archive.com/macosx%40perl.org/> sherm-- >> I am using XML::LibXML and so far did all the testing on my Linux web >> server (meaning that I had to be online to test).

You need to install the expat library. http://expat.sourceforge.net/ > You need to install the expat library. http://expat.sourceforge.net/ No you don't. XML::LibXML doesn't use the Expat parser, it uses the libxml parser. But don't take my word for it, just ask otool what the .bundle is linked against: Sherm-Pendleys-Computer:~ sherm$ otool -L /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/LibXML/ LibXML.bundle /Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/XML/LibXML/ LibXML.bundle: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.7.0) /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 71.1.1) /usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 5.0.0, current version 5.0.0) sherm-- |
