The "libxml2" package isn't available

[svendewindt]

Hi,
When trying trying to install vagrant-aws pluging, the installation fails on this:
extconf.rb:29:in `

': The "libxml2" package isn't available. (RuntimeError)

To see why this extension failed to compile, please check the mkmf.log which can be found here:

C:/Users/Sven/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.3/extensions/x64-mingw32/2.4.0/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.4/mkmf.log

extconf failed, exit code 1

Gem files will remain installed in C:/Users/Sven/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.3/gems/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.4 for inspection.
Results logged to C:/Users/Sven/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.3/extensions/x64-mingw32/2.4.0/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.4/gem_make.out

The log file:
`find_executable: checking for xml2-config... -------------------- no

"pkg-config --exists libxml2"`
package configuration for libxml2 is not found

I've tried downloading libxml2 and adding it to the path, without succes. What can i do to resolve this?

This is on Windows 10.

Kind regards,
Sven.

+1. On windows 10 with Vagrant 2.0.4

[cre8tions]

+1 Win10 Vagrant 2.0.4, reinstalled and tried vagrant plugin expunge --reinstall, no luck

Tried cinst libxslt libiconv -y -Source "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477" to install libxml, added the install path to $env:PATH as well

[cre8tions]

I ran $env:Path="C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\mingw64\bin;$env:Path" and tried to install again, it seems it's a Windows10 permissions error...

λ  vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
Installing the 'vagrant-aws' plugin. This can take a few minutes...
C:/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/mingw64/lib/ruby/2.4.0/rubygems/package.rb:383:in `initialize': Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - C:/Users/<user>/.vagrant.d/gems/2.4.3/gems/ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.4/ext/ovirtsdk4c/extconf.rb (Errno::EACCES)

the ovirtsdk4c path had no owner, fixed that, ran vagrant plugin expunge --reinstall and and it installed fine

Had this issue with Windows 10, Vagrant 2.0.3. Fixed it by installing Ruby separately (from https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/) and RENAMING the ruby.exe and rubyw.exe files under C:\hashicorp\vagrant\embedded\mingw64\bin so Vagrant fell back on the new Ruby version. Guess the Ruby version that comes with Vagrant is lite and doesn't come with libxml2 package

There are various issues with the latest packages for the AWS plugin running on Windows, but I am now up and running by doing the following, all of which are workarounds and will need to be changed for your install drives but show the cause of the problem:

1. Copy C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\mingw64\lib\pkgconfig\libxml-2.0.pc libxml2.pc

This allows the libxml2 package definition to be found (the definition was renamed to libxml-2.0 at some point).

2. Create an empty "C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\sys\select.h"

%VAGRANT_HOME%\gems\2.4.4\gems\ovirt-engine-sdk-4.2.4\ext\ovirtsdk4c\ov_http_client.c attempts to include it but it is not currently installed with the embedded mingw64.

3. Move the #define _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED line to before #ifndef _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED in C:\HashiCorp\Vagrant\embedded\mingw64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\sys\time.h to prevent the new definition from being parsed.

There is a non-matching redefinition of gettimeofday as indicated by the compiler

4. Remove the extra 'io' mapping at the end of %VAGRANT_HOME%\gems\2.4.4\gems\virtualbox-0.8.6\lib\virtualbox\com\ffi\util.rb

Unneeded duplicate mapping.

I hope that helps!

Hi,
the bug/issue still exists for vagrant 2.1.1 :-(
On Windows, both solutions from JudeCole & ChrisLeNeve didn't work.
I am not able to install the vagrant-aws plugin !!!

[GaryGen]

I was also having an issue with vagrant 2.1.1 on Windows 64-bit.
@judcole 's solution worked for me, but I was confused by step 3 at first.
The code change for moving the _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED definition is to move ONLY the _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED line, not the entire definition:

#define _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED

#ifndef _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED
#define _GETTIMEOFDAY_DEFINED
int __cdecl gettimeofday(struct timeval *__restrict__,
                         void *__restrict__  /* tzp (unused) */);
#endif

Also, virtual drive V was not defined for me, so I could not determine how to perform step 4, but that did not appear to affect the outcome.

[judcole]

Sorry for the confusion on my step 4 above! To explain further:

1. This fix is actually for an irritating but harmless warning thrown up by the vagrant-virtualbox plugin about a duplicate 'io' case value (Unneeded duplicate mapping).

2. V:\vagrant is the folder where my .vagrant.d folder was installed, but in posting the full path a backslash got lost. It would have been clearer as %VAGRANT_HOME%\gems\2.4.4\gems\virtualbox-0.8.6\lib\virtualbox\com\ffi\util.rb

I have updated my comment to include the environment variable.

My "solution" for this highly frustrating problem was

1. Create an Ubuntu Vagrant box on Windows
2. vagrant up the box
3. Install Vagrant and vagrant-aws inside the Vagrant box

Some really great answers posted here, really appreciate the effort from the community. But honestly, it's quite surprising there hasn't been any patch or update released for this blocker bug. It clearly seems to be a breaking change and (for me at least) has completely stalled my work.

Please see #542 for a better option than all of the editing and such shown above.

Hi,
it is working . please do install ruby latest version on windows box. Then run vagrant update.
