[R] R XML package on RHEL

[Das Neves, David, Vodacom South Africa]

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I do have them installed it seems:

[dasneved at drdsv01zatcrh ~]$ yum list installed | grep xml2
*Note* Red Hat Network repositories are not listed below. You must run this command as root to access RHN repositories.
libxml2.x86_64       2.7.6-21.el6_8.1  @RHEL6.8-Server-P1-Jul2016-x86_64        
libxml2-devel.x86_64 2.7.6-21.el6_8.1  @RHEL6.8-Server-P1-Oct2016-x86_64

I have a .so for ldap on the server, maybe I should try symlinking to it? I can't find anything called libldap without a version number, so maybe that is the problem?

[dasneved at drdsv01zatcrh ~]$ find / -name '*libldap*' 2>/dev/null
/lib64/libldap-2.4.so.2
/lib64/libldap_r-2.4.so.2

As far as I know you only need libxml and libxml2-devel. Do you have those installed?
