hi,
I'm sorry for reporting so late

I tried to move the first statically built binary from Debian to 
Slackware and found that swish-e reports
"swish not built with zlib support" and "Unknown document type HTML2" -> 
zlib and libxml2 missing

so I returned back to Debian and tried the binary - but, as I could see 
- also was not compiled in, (libxml2 and also zlib still there in tmp 
directory used to built swish-e)


I tried reading and playing then

this might be wrong but it seemed to me, that buildswishe.pl did not set 
path for xml2-config and configure missed it during compilation,
I tried to set PATH variable beforehand (putting path-to xml2-config in 
it) but result was the same

(before that, I tried to run make alone, and swish-e was compiled 
successfully, with libxml2)

so I am completely lost on this - however Peter Karman definitelly 
helped me, showed me the way, buildswishe.pl did the dirty work of 
installing libxml2 and perhaps, you could find remedy for this "sickness".

if I can help, please tell me how - below is the flow of configure 
commands from buildswishe.pl(my configuration: gcc 3.3.4, Debian, kernel 
2.4..., without libxml2 and zlib installed by root)

best regards

roman
