Description Yan Morin 2005-02-26 22:30:22 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:           libxml2-2.5.11-0.fdr.1.rh90.src.rpm

It seems that in kdewebdev/quanta/parsers/dtd/dtdparser.cpp you need libxml2.6 but ./configure don't fail when 2.6 is not install

I can't replace xmlError* errorPtr instead of xmlErrorPtr errorPtr
because event xmlError doesn't exist in my libxml/xmlerror.h 

Redhat package: libxml2-2.5.11-0.fdr.1.rh90.src.rpm

Strange, as Quanta has #ifdef's to make it work with libxml 2.5. 

Maybe the global KDE requirements have changed meantime. Can't you 
update libxml to 2.6? I don't think this is a real bug, as 2.5 is quite 
old, 2.6 being available for a while (I have 2.6.17), and it's not a 
bug if we (=KDE) require a newer version of a library.

libxml2 >= 2.4.8  Recommended  Libxml is an XML library. XML is a metalanguage to design markup languages, such as HTML.

I confirm, I was able to build it.

And I now have many suggestions in Cervisia support and for <!DOCTYPE> tag, but this is others bug reports ;-)
