[Bioperl-l] parsing a phyloxml file

[Chris Fields]

Chrysanthi,

Make sure to keep the mail list in your replies.

Did you update the libxml2 library (http://xmlsoft.org/) to at least  
libxml2-2.6.21?  Make sure you don't have libxml instead (aka libxml  
v1).  Most repos (apt, yum, fink, macports) have the updated version.

I believe XML::LibXML will compile if you have an older libxml  
version, but it will skip Reader and other modules that don't have a  
minimum libxml library present (and older versions of Reader are not  
API-compliant if I recall correctly).
