Syncato prereqs
I'm approaching success in installing the prereqs for Syncato. You can see the current install script and results. Summary:
- libiconv: routine
- libxml2: routine
- libxml2-python: won't pick up the recently compiled version of libxml2 if there is a older version installed on the system. I've had to patch setup.py to get past this. Produces message libxslt stub generator not found, libxslt not built.
- libxslt: routine
- libxslt-python: I have yet to figure out how to build this.
- xerces-c: slightly unconventional, but well documented.
- pathan: routine
- Berkley db: routine
- bsddb3: requires link flags, but this is documented. Seems to leave the python files in the Berkley db source directory and not the install directory.
- dbxml: other than the sheer number of prereqs, routine.
I'm sure I'll make my way through all this, but any suggestions on things I might have missed in the documentation would be appreciated. Meanwhile, I can't help but wonder how many XML parsers and XPath implementations it takes to run a blog.
