I got the libxml source code for hp-ux from this site.

libxml2-2.6.31

The link to this site was provided by xmlsoft.org. I downloaded the tarred/zipped source code for hp-ux.

When I extracted it and tried to run ./configure I got some error message which read

./configure: uname: permission denied
./configure: ls: permission denied

I checked the permission. I am root and I also have given 777 permission.


Since I was not able to install, I downloaded the general libxml2-2.6.31.tar.gz from xmlsofts ftp server and tried to compile it

the ./configure and make worked perfectly

But when I tried to do make install I got these error messags

"Making install in include

/bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/include/libxml2/libxml

Can someone tell me how to solve this issue and how I can get libxml installed on hpux.

I don't want to compile from source libxml on hp ux like the way I did for linux/solaris/aix, as I have to install libxml on different architectures of hp ux.
