libxml2: attempts to use libxslt.1.dylib

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I previously had libxml2 2.6.32_1 and libxslt 1.1.23_0 installed. I forcibly uninstalled libxml2 and reinstalled it, to test an issue. During the reinstall, this message appeared in the debug output, and also a Mac OS X Crash Reporter dialog appeared with similar information:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _xmlXPathContextSetCache
  Referenced from: /mp/lib/libxslt.1.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _xmlXPathContextSetCache
  Referenced from: /mp/lib/libxslt.1.dylib
  Expected in: flat namespace

/mp is my MacPorts prefix. So it seems that libxml2 is trying to load libxslt.1.dylib during the build. You must modify the port so that this does not happen, because libxml2 does not declare a dependency on libxslt (and it cannot, since libxslt declares a dependency on libxml2, and we cannot have circular dependencies).

I am running Mac OS X 10.4.11 on an Intel Mac with Xcode 2.5 and MacPorts from trunk @38557.

I cannot seem to produce an unexpected error with libxml2 and libxslt.
Can this ticket be closed?

I guess.
