[Gambas-user] gambas-0.99.RC4 + Slackware

Hi, I tried to install gambas, but have issues:

1. ./configure freaks due to libxml
2. Disabling libxml in ./configure enables that to work, but make install then 
fails.
3. The PostgreSQL driver is not being built

I originally sent these to Benoît as I had read the FAQ, but not seen the 
mailing lists! doh!

Could anyone help with this at all?


This first bit was the ./configure + libxml bit:

Many thanks for the reply,

I tried ./configure --disable-libxml --disable-xslt
which enabled the ./configure && make to complete ok, however make install 
produced errors:

Also, I've got PostgreSQL 7.4.6 installed in /usr/local/pgsql, but the 
Gambas ./configure did not detect the headers and reported that the driver is 
disabled.
