If possible, could you provide your libxml2 version that you want to link for the PHP 7.4.33 version?

[carloeusebi]

Thanks for the quick reply,

libxml2-2.9.14, but really anything will do for me.

[peter279k]

Thanks for your reply. According to the build.log, it seems the issue about the libxml2 version for PHP 7.4.33 compiling.

I need to setup your compiling environment to verify that.

Same error here using libxml2-2.13.2-1..I'm trying to find a fix

edit: ok, my quickfix is docker...

[carloeusebi]

Yes I also solved it using docker.
@peter279k if you think it was a problem of my configuration you can close the issue, but if you want to look deeper into it tell me what you need and I'll see if I can help you!

[peter279k]

Thanks for your reply. I will try to find the current issue at my available time.

Might be related to #1370?

[theofidry]

Btw I think the patch requires a bit more now, it works for 8.1.28 but not 8.1.29, but the patch is probably very similar

[carloeusebi]

I don't know if this can help, but I also had problems installing 8.1 and #1370 solved it for me.
