libxml2/libxslt binaries: libxml2 version mismatch in xsltproc

2002-11-17 Thread Yves Forkl
In various versions of the libxml2/libxslt binaries, the executable
"xsltproc" distributed with the latest libxslt package was compiled
against an older version of libxml2 than the latest release currently
distributed.


>From the most recent Cygwin releases of libxml2/libxslt:

$ xsltproc -V
Using libxml 20423, libxslt 10013 and libexslt 705
 ^
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20417, libxslt 10013 and libexslt
705
 ^
libxslt 10013 was compiled against libxml 20417
libexslt 705 was compiled against libxml 20417

Slightly older:

$ xsltproc -V
Using libxml 20417, libxslt 10010 and libexslt 703
 ^
xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20413, libxslt 10010 and libexslt
703
 ^
libxslt 10010 was compiled against libxml 20413
libexslt 703 was compiled against libxml 20413


To get xsltproc working properly, it may be necessary either to
rebuild it (which I didn't manage to) or to downgrade to the older
libxml2 binary.

So it would perhaps be better if that correspondence of the libxml2
version could be ensured before the libxml2 and libxslt binaries are
distributed together in their latest releases.

Sorry for not being clear about the specific problem I encountered which
is almost certainly caused by the version mismatch, but I didn't know if
that classified as a bug proper - please see the description of the
problem in the message included.

Maybe the different libxml2 versions have been too compatible :-) to
produce a problem of that kind in most cases of version mismatch within
xsltproc?

  Looks 1/ old 2/ bad (the library used an the one the application was
compiled again do not match)

  Simply upgrade then !
