make test failed - "Your setup of library paths is incorrect!

[mewto]

I am trying build XML::LibXML and XML::LibXSLT modules from source on two CentOS 5.4 boxes. Both are supposedly identical with a pretty standard server installation with only the server packages & most of development packages selected.

Somehow, one does not have this problem but one has the problem. When I 'make test', it failed.

[root@server1 XML-LibXML-1.70]# make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_h
+arness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/01basic.....................# Test 3 got: "20703" (t/01basic.t at li
+ne 12)
t/01basic.....................NOK 3
#  t/01basic.t line 12 is: ok(XML::LibXML::LIBXML_VERSION, XML::LibXML
+::LIBXML_RUNTIME_VERSION);


Compiled against libxml2 version: 20703
Running libxml2 version:          20706

DO NOT REPORT THIS FAILURE: Your setup of library paths is incorrect!

t/01basic.....................FAILED test 3
        Failed 1/3 tests, 66.67% okay
t/02parse.....................ok

I am not sure if it affects the module, (it prob doesn't). I bothers me to have the test continue to fail. I would like to figure out why. Can someone shed some light? Thanks!

You need to rebuild the Perl module on this machine as the version for libxml2 is different:

Compiled against libxml2 version: 20703
Running libxml2 version:          20706

Thanks, that was a good catch. I missed that.

Yes, there were inconsistent & multiple versions of libxml2 installed. I cleaned that up and it compiles fine now.

It seems to me that you have two versions of libxml2 installed, causing some conflicts for XML::LibXML. You'll need to remove one or correct the path. As for which one to remove, you can check to see which libxml2 XML::LibXML is linked to like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use XML::LibXML;

print my $DLL_Version = XML::LibXML::LIBXML_RUNTIME_VERSION, "\n";

It returns 20626 on my machine.
