    Hello :)

    I have a big problem with libxml and leopard.
    First I tried recompile on old version of libxml but when I'm tried recompile PHP "make" return me an error ( this same like in PHP bug tracker ). So I decides to remove all libxml files with libxml2.2.dylib and libxml2.dylib file and it was biggest mistake at this day :/
    After it my leopard just crashed, after recovery I found one article about it here http://jamesclarke.info/notes/libxml2/

    So maybe you will know how I can upgrade libxml to the newest version on Leopard.

    Best regards,
    Whisller.

    I never tried it myself, but usually I install the software that already is installed in a separate spot so not to interfere and make it possible to remove when it doesn't work.

    Let us know if you find a solution.

    Sorry but I cannot edit my first post so I must write new one.
    In first post I wrote about bug tracker, but I didn't wrote link so here it is http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44294
    And I do not agree with solution "Remove old libxml", heh.

    I am so sick of developing on a Mac. This libxml2 business is just the latest bit of stupid frustration that I've been dealing with. Yes, the Mac is a step up from windows. But that's like saying a broken down honda is a step up from a demented monkey.

    What drives me crazy is how many developers just shrug and say "oh well, guess I'll have to do without it". Excuse me? Isn't this supposed to be open source software? Why the hell can't I use it?

    I wish Adobe would port their software to Linux. So I could just switch already.
