RE: [EP-tech] Migrating to Redhat Linux 8.6

Sorry the libxslt is a folder (not a file) and is located here:

/usr/include/libxslt

 

We also have the following libxslt files here:

/usr/lib64/libxslt.so.1.1.32

/usr/lib64/libxslt-plugins

/usr/lib64/libxslt.so.1

/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libxslt.pc

/usr/lib64/libxslt.so

/usr/share/licenses/libxslt

 

 

The error appearing when trying to install using CPAN is this:

looking for -lxslt... no

libxslt not found

We installed from RPM dnf install perl-XML-LibXSLT which was successful and resolved any dependencies.

Then we did a dnf remove perl-XML-LibXSLT and then a cpanm (Yes we are using cpanm) XML::LibXSLT but received the same error and the installation failed.

 

Could the issue be from the location of the libxslt file?

 

# which libxslt

/usr/bin/which: no libxslt in (/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

 

The libxslt file is located here:

/usr/include/libxslt

Thanks

If you try installing from RPM:

>dnf install perl-XML-LibXSLT

Does it work (and resolve dependencies)?

If so, you could then remove the RPM version:
>dnf remove perl-XML-LibXSLT --noautoremove


and then try installing the CPAN version again.

Another thing you could try is using ‘cpanm’ – an alternative to CPAN.

I’m using the root user for running the below command and for trying to install the CPAN module, this is the output:

Hi Martin

 

The packages libxslt-devel libxslt libxml2-devel libxml2 are only installed using dnf and are not installed again on the system using CPAN.  As for the XML::LibXSLT it is recommended in the documentation to install it using CPAN and not as an rpm using dnf.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Maher

Hi Maher,

I don’t have a RHEL8 box nearby right now, but I’d check that the libxml2 and libxslt packages are installed on the server.

> dnf install libxml2 libxslt

 

These are requirements for the perl modules you are trying to add.

 

Cheers,

John

Hi

 

We are in the progress of migrating our EPrints 3.4.1 system from Rehat Linux 7.6 server to a Redhat Linux 8.6 server.  We have successfully installed all of the required packages but are having issues installing the XML::LibXSLT package.  As recommended in the documentation this package should be installed using CPAN.  However using CPAN we are receiving the following error:

 

Searching XML::LibXSLT () on cpanmetadb ...

--> Working on XML::LibXSLT

Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHLOMIF/XML-LibXSLT-2.002001.tar.gz

Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line

Or get libxslt and libxml2 from

If you install via RPMs, make sure you also install the -devel

RPMs, as this is where the headers (.h files) are.

-> FAIL Configure failed for XML-LibXSLT-2.002001. See /root/.cpanm/work/1695296840.123696/build.log for details.

 

 

Any idea how to fix this issue?

 

Thanks,

Maher
