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

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.
There are quite a few changes from 1.96.6 (which I think is what RHEL provides from their repo) and 2.001001 (CPAN version).

Maybe try cloning the git repo for it, and following their instructions (I can't remember what the process is off the top of my head!).

We modified the Makefile.pl file as mentioned in the link, but running the perl Makefile.PL did not work as shown below:

 

[root@sftp-gsadmissions-1 XML-LibXSLT-2.002001]# perl Makefile.PL

running pkg-config libxslt... ok

looking for -lxslt... no

libxslt not found

Try setting LIBS and INC values on the command line

Or get libxslt and libxml2 from

  http://www.libxml.org/

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

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

[root@sftp-gsadmissions-1 XML-LibXSLT-2.002001]# ^C

[root@sftp-gsadmissions-1 XML-LibXSLT-2.002001]# make

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

 

Are there any other modification required to be made in the Makefile.PL file? As it is still complaining that libxslt not found??

 

Thanks,

Maher

It doesn’t look like the above commit has made it to a release version yet – but I’m not sure why that would cause the CPAN route to fail, unless the CPAN and DNF are different version numbers…

You mention you are using cpanm.
Is the following command...

cpanm -V 

...showing the correct installation locations?

 

Is any further info in build logs in your user's home directory's ".cpanm" folder?

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?

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.

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:

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,

Kind regards,

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.

-> N/A

-> 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
