Re: Issues with Redhat 4 Postgresql 8.4 and support of libxml

I am not using libxml2-devel package. I built libxml2.so from source code (libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz).

Thanks.

Ale.

If you are using libxml2-devel package from Red Hat repository, it won't work. The libxml2 version in RHEL4 is not enough for xml support.

Either upgrade to RHEL5, or compile a newer version of libxml2 on your system and build PostgreSQL against it.
