error: libxml2 is required (modsecurity)

  • 772

I am trying to install mod_security from source. when i run ./configure I get this error:

configure: error: libxml2 is required

After that error, I executed this command:

yum install libxml2

It installed libxml2 properly. However, I'm still getting the same error from ./configure. How can I resolve this error?

mod-security

    When you build software, you need the library development package, not the shared library package. So, install libxml2-devel and your build problems should go away (or at least the error message will change).

  2. I don't know how to fix your compile problem, however there is an RPM for mod_security available here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/mod_security-2.5.7-1.fc11.src.rpm
