I have tried several times through Macports to upgrade libxml2, but it tells me that the most recent version is installed. I get the following when I check the version through Macports: {{{ imac:~ barry$ port search libxml libxml @1.8.17 (textproc) XML parsing library libxml2 @2.7.8 (textproc) gnome xml library }}} However, when I use grep I get the following: {{{ imac:/Users barry$ php -i | grep libxml libxml Version => 2.6.16 libxml libxml2 Version => 2.6.16 }}} So there are obviously 2 versions of libxml2 sitting on my Mac, and the wrong one is being used. I have searched around forums, and think that the answer may lie in a Symlink, but I do not know what I am doing with this. (I need this spelling out hin simple instructions. lol) I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 (which means I cannot install Howebrew, hence using Macports as the other alernative). I cannot upgrade my OS as my old IMac will not allow it, and I cannot afford a new one at this moment in time. Can anybody help me so that I can get my Symfony2 project on the road? Many thanks in advance Barry J ",defect,closed,Normal,,ports,2.0.3,invalid,,ryandesign,
