Ubuntu Eclipse libxml2 error : fatal error: libxml/xmlversion.h: No such file or directory

Question

I want to use libxml2 in my eclipse project. I can use this library on command line by "

g++ main.cpp -I/usr/include/libxml2 -lxml2 -o output "

But I can't use on eclipse.I add C++ Build->Setting->GCC C Compiler->Includes

-I/usr/include/libxml2 and I add C++ Build->Setting->GCC C++ Linker->library -lxml2

But When I build my project, I get an error via

libxml/parser.h:15:31: fatal error: libxml/xmlversion.h: No such file or directory

The problem is solved! I add /usr/include/libxml2 to C++ Compiler-> Includes and xml2(not -lxml2) to GCC C++ Linker->library — andressophia, Apr 23 '14 at 21:20

This is because libs are not complete. You should install them.

One solution:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

For Redhat/Centos/Fedora:

yum install libxml-devel

ugh...I keep getting `No package libxml-devel available. Error: Nothing to do` – tumultous_rooster Oct 24 '15 at 02:07

On my end these packages are already installed but still I get the same error. I had to add the following argument to g++ to fix it: `-I/usr/include/libxml2` – Milad.Nozari Nov 06 '15 at 10:57

Right answer. On CentOS 7: `yum install libxslt-devel libxml++-devel libxml2-devel` – chirale Dec 06 '15 at 10:56
This answer saved me a lot on Ubuntu 20.04! Thanks again! – Joshua Kusaasira Dec 02 '21 at 09:17
