--- Begin Message ---Package: libxml++2.6-dev Version: 2.34.2-1 Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I installed libxml++2.6-dev to experiment. The header files are in a directory /usr/include/libxml++-2.6/libxml++/*.h, but the nested header in this directory refer to /usr/include/libxml++. For example attribute.h includes <libxml++/nodes/node.h>. Compilation fails. Similarly attribute.h includes <glibmm/ustring.h>, but the glibmm directory includes <glibmm/ustring.h>, but the path for the glibmm headers is /usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm and the same problem exists there. Finally, the glibmm headers include a file <glibmmconfig.h> that does not exist in the include tree. It does exist in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glibmm-2.4/include however. Bottom line, the include structure is pretty dorked up. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Gave up after a little fussing. * What was the outcome of this action? I decided the package was broken. * What outcome did you expect instead? I thought I would be able to actually use this package.

Those libraries are supposed to be used with pkg-config. Basically, one uses `pkg-config libxml++-2.6 --cflags` to get compiler flags and `pkg-config libxml++-2.6 --libs` to get linker flags. For instance, to compile example.cpp: $ g++ `pkg-config libxml++-2.6 --cflags` example.cpp `pkg-config libxml++-2.6 --libs` Refer to the documentations for details.
