Hello,

Apologies if this is the improper place to be asking this. I'm a new user to MonetDB, and I'm having trouble installing MonetDB/XQuery on Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. Actually, the installation did seem to succeed (running the auto install script from the super source tarball) and I can start MServer, but with the error:

# MonetDB Server v4.40.2

!ERROR: moduleClient: module(pathfinder) load error.

The problem, its seems anyway, is during the configuration of pathfinder:

...
...
checking for signal.h... yes
checking return type of signal handlers... (cached) void
checking for strings.h... (cached) yes
checking for strcasecmp... yes
checking for xml2-config.32... no
checking for xml2-32-config... no
checking for xml2-config... no
checking for libxml/parser.h... no
configure: error: in `/home/rob/MonetDB':
configure: error: The libxml2 XML parsing library and/or include files were
not found or you have requested to not use it.
                This is required dependence, core components like
the XML Schema import functionality depends on it.
See `config.log' for more details.

I do have libxml2 installed (by default with Lucid). I've run the pathfinder configure script a few times, with the option --with-libxml2=*some variations*, but I'm not really confident about what I'm doing. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. Thanks.
