Hi, Which source is your Yast using? I find libxml2 with my X86_64 SUSE 10.0 using Yast and the following source: http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst- source You can download Curl from: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html Cheers, Steffen zhihua li wrote: > thanks netters. > > my system is x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, SUSE LINUX 10.0. > > i tried yast2 but couldn't find corresponding library files for > libxml2 and librcurl. does anyone know about some source containing > these packages? > > thank you very much! > >> From: Diego Diez <diez at="" kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp=""> >> To: zhihua li <lzhtom at="" hotmail.com=""> >> Subject: Re: [BioC] install biomaRt failed - configuration failed for >> XML > and RCurl >> Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2006 11:56:22 +0900 >> >> Hi Zhihua, >> >> On Sep 13, 2006, at 10:41 AM, zhihua li wrote: >> >>> Hi, netters, >>> >>> recently i've been trying to install biomaRt.
