[Caml-list] How to install PXP

[IKEDA Katsumi]

Hi,

I want to install PXP (Polymorphic XML parser).

It requires findlib (ocamlfind) and ocamlnet. ocamlnet requires pcre-ocaml.


First, I install findlib. ocamlfind is installed in /usr/bin.


Second, I install pcre-ocaml. pcre libraries are installed
in /usr/lib/ocaml/contrib


Third, I try to install ocamlnet.

'configure' works well, however 'make all' makes the following error.

--------
  ocamlfind ocamlc -g  -package "unix pcre" -thread -c netstring_top.mli
  ocamlfind: package 'pcre' not found
--------

I try './configure -I +contrib -disable-findlib'
then I can install ocamlnet.
It is installed in /usr/lib/ocaml/ocamlnet.


But 'configure' of PXP says:

--------
  $ ./configure 
  Checking for ocamlfind... found
  Checking for netstring... not found
  Sorry, installation is not possible without netstring!
  Please download netstring from www.ocaml-programming.de
--------

Please tell me the better way to install PXP.

Thanks.

I think you can solve this problem by installing pcre with findlib. As
you may have discovered, 'make install' for the pcre package doesn't use
findlib, but you can still do it manually. You can find more information
in <ocamlnet-package>/src/INSTALL. 

Hope this helps.

I overlooked <ocamlnet-package>/src/INSTALL. 

I try the following to install pcre:
  ocamlfind install pcre META *.cmi *.mli *.cma *.a *.cmxa

Then everything works well.

Thanks.
