Can't compile all_misc

[Anonymous]

I'm at revision 546, and in the examples/misc folder, typing make all_misc gives the following error:
make all_analysis gives a similar error.

[Bradley S. Meyer]

Thanks for your post. Can you try (in a bash shell):

export WN_XML_CHAR=xmlChar

make clean

make all_analysis

Let me know if that works. If so, could you let me know the output you get from

./test_versions

Thanks, and best wishes.

Thanks, that worked.

Codes are compiled against:

libxml version 2.9.1
gsl version 1.16
Boost version 1.55.0

[Bradley S. Meyer]

Glad to hear it. Your version of libxml is 2.9.1, which still uses xmlChar for format statements. More recent versions use char, which is now libnucnet's and NucNet Tools' default. One should be able to check the libxml version by typing

xml2-config --version

If the version is earlier than 2.9.3, one might need to set the environment variable WN_XML_CHAR, as you have done above. To set it permanently for your linux installation, edit your .bashrc file. Best wishes.
