[postgis-devel] Build PostgreSQL With XML Support on Linux

[Osahon Oduware]

Hi All,

I successfully built PostgreSQL from source on Linux (Centos 7) using the
following:
./configure --prefix=/home/nagispg/local/pgsql --with-libxml --with-libxslt

Prior to this I had installed the xml and xslt packages (amongst others)
using:
yum install libxml2-devel
yum install libxslt-devel

However, when I try to store XML data in a table I get an error. The log
file states that I need to rebuild PostgreSQL with --with-libxml.

When I run pg_config I get the following output:
BINDIR = /home/nagispg/local/pgsql/bin
DOCDIR = /home/nagispg/local/pgsql/share/doc
HTMLDIR = /home/nagispg/local/pgsql/share/doc

>From the above, the LIBS doesn't indicate the presence of xml or xslt (i.e
-lxslt -lxml2).

Could someone point me to what I am doing wrong.
