Hi All,
I successfully built PostgreSQL from source on Linux (Centos 7) using the following:
./configure --prefix=/home/nagispg/local/
pgsql --with-libxml --with-libxslt
Prior to this I had installed the xml and xslt packages (amongst others) using:
yum install libxml2-devel
yum install libxslt-devel
However, when I try to store XML data in a table I get an error. The log file states that I need to rebuild PostgreSQL with --with-libxml.
When I run pg_config I get the following output:
BINDIR = /home/nagispg/local/pgsql/bin

LIBS = -lpgcommon -lpgport -lz -lreadline -lrt -lcrypt -ldl -lm
VERSION = PostgreSQL 9.6.2
From the above, the LIBS doesn't indicate the presence of xml or xslt (i.e -lxslt -lxml2).
Could someone point me to what I am doing wrong.
