[BioC] [SOLVED] Re: libxml2: incompatible library

For who it may concern,
The problem has been solved. For unknown reason the libxml2 variable had been set by CCP4 in the root's bashrc.
I removed those lines and R found the correct system's libxml2 library.
Best,

If you check the Bioconductor logs (http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/devel/bioc-LATEST/) and (http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.12/bioc-LATEST/) you'll see it compiles and installs without issues on both the release and devel versions of Bioconductor. The problem you are having is caused by conflicting versions of the libxml C *library* (not the CRAN XML package) on your system. Likely, you have two versions of libxml installed, and one is being found by the compiler, while another is found by the linker at run time. Changing CRAN XML package versions is not going to help you. You need to pass appropriate compiler and linker flags when you build/install the CRAN XML package. Just taking a guess, having faced similar issues at times, I'd suggest downloading the XML package from CRAN and install it from the command line vi R CMD INSTALL, passing --configure-args=ARGS, with ARGS being your include and library path compiler flags pointing to a consistent version of libxml. You may end up having to also configure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure the location of the same version of the libxml library appears first.
