R语言安装tm包报错ERROR: dependency ‘xml

今天安装R包tm时遇到报错：

ERROR: dependency ‘xml2’ is not available for package ‘tm’

于是安装xml2,又遇到报错

Package libxml-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxml-2.0.pc'to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variableNo package 'libxml-2.0' found

前几天是新手的时候，遇到报错一般是哭天喊地，现在冷静多了，开始解决：

其实一般R语言都会给出提示：

先安装这俩：

$ sudo apt-get install libxml2

$ sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev

解决不了问题，怀疑是pkg-config没找到libxml-2.0.pc：

pkg-config可用与列举出某个库的相关信息，比如此库的路径、相关头文件路径等

checking for LIBXML2... no configure: error: Package requirements (libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.0) were not met: No package 'libxml-2.0' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBXML2_CFLAGS and LIBXML2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. 手动安装libxml2后，指定环境变量 解决办法： 确定 /usr/local/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig 目录下有 libxml-2.0.pc export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
