There is no mention of the minimal libxml2 version required anywhere either. The old dom-xml needed >= 2.4.14 But on PHP5 It doesnt seem to like 2.5.9 either. any clue whats the minimal supported version ? -Roshan

configure will tell you (when it fails). When you ran configure it should have failed and told you: "libxml2 version 2.5.10 or greater required." Install questions in general should go to php-general@lists.php.net.

ext/soap pumped up the minimal requirement. It uses xmlBufferCreateStatic which is not found in the 2.5.x libxml2 . I upgraded to 2.6.7 and this helped. Probably when --disable-soap is used one can use 2.5.10+ . For me libxml2-2.5.10-29.i586.rpm (suse 9.0) didn't work. andrey George Schlossnagle wrote:

Didn't work with --disable-soap? If that's the case, something's fishy somewhere else and this shouldn't be the case currently chregu

ok, needs clearance. 2.5.10 didn't work for me when SOAP support was enabled. I didn't try compiling without it since I just needed this extension compiled (usually I leave it out as well as the XML stuff). Andrey Christian Stocker wrote:
