Details

The headers of libxml++ usually can be found at prefix/libxml++, which most likely is a symlink to prefix/libxml++-1.0/libxml++.

That helps alot with compiling problems for some packages using libxml++.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Programs should use pkgconfig to detect location. The location is standard and listed in the pkgconfig .pc file.

What is buggy in this report?
Please be more clear?

If it is a hint: you know most of this stuff is handled by using pkg-config and the supplied .pc files nowadays?

Programs including /usr/include/libxml++/libxml++.h.

Your distributed package is missing the symlink of /usr/include/libxml++ to /usr/include/libxml++-1.0/libxml++, therefore some programs can't find the headerfiles, and are simply not compiling. I've added the symlink manually now, but i think this could already be done by the package.
