configure error on NetBSD 4.0 --with-libxml2-dir=/usr/pkg/bin

[bhalpin]

Hi all.

 

I'm a bit of a newbie, but getting there ...

 

This is a new NetBSD 4.0 box, and I have Apache and MySQL installed and

working. My problem is PHP.

 

After downloading and extracting the source, I:

 

cd /usr/local/src/php-5.2.5

./configure

--prefix=/usr/local/php

--with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config

--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

 

And got tjis result:

. . .

Configuring extensions

checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes

checking libxml2 install dir... no

checking for xml2-config path...

configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check 

your libxml2 installation.

 

Google turned up a partial answer: install libxml2-devel

 

I used pkg_add to install libxml2, but I could not find any

libxml2-devel package on NetBSD.org.

 

./configure still fails

 

I found xml2-config in /usr/pkg/bin, and in the PHP configure script I see a switch to specify the path. So I added --with-libxml-dir=/usr/pkg/bin to the configure args.

 

configure now say's:

 

Configuring extensions

checking whether to enable LIBXML support... yes

checking libxml2 install dir... /usr/pkg/bin

checking for xml2-config path...

configure: error: xml2-config not found. Please check your libxml2 installation.

 

That's a bit different - but it still can't find xml2-config.

 

I can't figure out where to go from here. (And I'm going blind trying to decifer the PHP configure file.)

 

Thanks (a lot!) in advance.
