postgres build with xml support on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Rajanikanth Jammalamadaka]

Hi

I tried to build postgres with libxml and libxslt and see the following
errors in the config.log file.

Can anybody explain what the problem is caused due to?

Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
Raj

I don't see any errors there. The extract of the log that you quoted
seems to just be configure finding out that your platform doesn't have
setproctitle(), which is hardly surprising on Linux (it's a BSD-ism).
In any case that would have nothing to do with libxml or libxslt.

What actual problem are you having?
