Installation of Soup

Install Soup by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome && make && make install

Command explanations

--prefix=/opt/gnome : Install Soup in the Gnome 1.4 area.

Configuring Soup

As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.

Contents

The soup package contains SOAP libraries, used to implement XML remote procedure calls.
