The expat package contains a stream oriented C library for parsing XML.
Install expat by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make && make install |
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run whilst logged in as root.
The expat package contains the expat libraries and xmlwf.
xmlwf is a non-validating utility to check whether or not XML documents are well formed.
