Current-8.2 Xorg won't install - Parser.o not found

mavediss · Apr 29, 2011

Hi all,

I'm trying to install Xorg on a freshly installed FreeBSD box.

Code:

# uname -a
FreeBSD nyc.home 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Feb 18 02:24:46 UTC 2011 [email]root@almeida.cse.buffalo.edu[/email]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

The compilation stops in /usr/ports/textproc/p5-XML-Parser/work/XML-Parser-2.40 where it is complaining that it can't find the expat header.

The lib and includes are present on my system:

Code:

# ls -la /usr/local/lib/libexpat*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  160488 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.a
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     793 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel      13 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.6
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  165680 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.6

Code:

# ls -la /usr/local/include/expat*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  40339 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/include/expat.h
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   3364 Apr 27 05:57 /usr/local/include/expat_external.h

Code:

# pkg_info | grep expat
expat-2.0.1_1       XML 1.0 parser written in C

I am getting the following error message:

Code:

# make

Expat must be installed prior to building XML::Parser and I can't find
it in the standard library directories. Install 'expat-devel' package with your
OS package manager.

Or you can download expat from:

[url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/[/url]

If expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory, then use the
following options to Makefile.PL:

    EXPATLIBPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find libexpat

    EXPATINCPATH=...  To set the directory in which to find expat.h

For example:

    perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/home/me/lib EXPATINCPATH=/home/me/include

Note that if you build against a shareable library in a non-standard location
you may (on some platforms) also have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable at run time for perl to find the library.

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

*** Error code 1

I tried [cmd=]perl Makefile.PL EXPATLIBPATH=/usr/local/lib EXPATINCPATH=/usr/local/include[/cmd] in /usr/ports/textproc/p5-XML-Parser/work/XML-Parser-2.40 and then re-run a make, but I'm getting the same error message.

I searched on google a lot but can't find any answer to solve this problem, where I can find a lot of people with the same issue.

A ticket with the similar issue has been opened but so fix has been posted yet : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=155991

Please help.

Thank you.

Update the ports tree before starting to build anything. The ports tree on the install disks are rather dated.

mavediss · Apr 29, 2011

Thanks for your answer but I installed the ports via csup

mavediss · Apr 29, 2011

Well, looks like I solved the issue by installing the XML::Parser manually via CPAN.

For those who are having the same issue:

Code:

# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> look XML::Parser
# perl Makefile.PL
# make
# make test (this will fail)
# make install (anyway)

Hope this helps.

Maybe some problem in upgrading Perl from 5.8 to 5.10? Regardless, going around it by manually installing the modules with CPAN is just painting over the problem.

mavediss · Apr 30, 2011

This was a fresh install. Perl version 5.10 was already installed. I agree this is painting over the problem, but at least I'm able to compile the Xorg port (and other ports that were not compiling due to this issue as well).

Thanks for the commands to install p5-XML-Parser. I was installing Cacti and this error came up.

This was with a fresh build with FreeBSD 8.2 and the latest portsnap.

I've just run into the same issue. There's a PR for that: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/155991 I just can't think of any reason why the patch is still not committed...
