[Nexus-developers] [NeXus Library 3.0.0] testsuite: 5 6 failed

[Akeroyd, FA (Freddie)]

Joachim,

Tests 5 and 6 refer purely to the XML bindings of NeXus, so using HDF4/HDF5 should work fine. The libmxml1 package supplied by Debian is based on the 2.0.0 version of mxml which has a bug in it - NeXus requires 2.2.2
If you do not plan to use the XML interface you can safely ignore this error; otherwise you need to update your mxml installation to version 2.2.2 You can either download the source for version 2.2.2 from http://www.easysw.com/~mike/mxml or use one of the Debian binaries built by Rudi Cilibrasi (http://cilibrar.com/~cilibrar/projsup/nex4/)

Regards,

Freddie

Dear developers,

I am currently considering to use NeXus on the Jülich
backscattering spectrometer at FRM-II.

However, installation on my desktop leads to testsuite
failures - see attachment.

My configuration:
- Debian
- libmxl1 installed
- % ./configure --without-java --with-xml=/usr/include

My questions:
- what does this failure mean?
- does it prevent me from using the NeXus build?
- how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance for any clues, Joachim
