Hi Maher,
My original experience when installing the Perl module XML::LibXSLT on RHEL 8 was that you need to install the CPAN version rather than the packaged (RPM using yum or dnf) version. However, this was a much earlier version of RHEL 8 (actually it was Rocky Linux 8). The issue with XML::LibXSLT is that it uses the shared object file /usr/lib64/libxslt.so (which symlinks to a file with a filename that includes the current version) and it seems that certain versions of both this shared object and XML::LibXSLT need to be installed to work with Apache running in MPM event mode to avoid it segfaulting. Therefore, the instruction to use MPM prefork mode, which is included as advice under the Issues with RHEL / CentOS / Rocky Linux 9 [1] is also the best solution if you have similar problems on RHEL 8.
If you want to run in MPM event mode you can but you will need to not install XML::LibXSLT either as a package or using CPAN. Looking at some Rocky Linux 8 servers you can still have the libxslt RPM still installed it is just the loading of XML::LibXSLT into Apache that cause the segfault. The result of not installing XML::LibXSLT is that some XSLT based import plugins will not be available:
Atom XML
OpenXML Bibliography
It is also used on some of the OAI-PMH pages (e.g. /cgi/oai2?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc). However, here I think this is only to visualize XML within a webpage rather than OAI-PMH export harvesting functionality that may be used by third-party applications. Therefore, you have a choice to leave MPM event enabled for Apache and lose this functionality or enable MPM prefork instead (using the instructions you described) and allow XML::LibXSLT to be installed (best to do this using yum/dnf) so you have this functionality available.
I will look into updating the instructions on the wiki [2] to better explain the situation for RHEL 8. If I have time, I will do some investigation to see if there is anyway to have XML::LibXSLT installed and still run Apache in MPM event mode. However, I think you and others have already done exhaustive testing of this.
Regards
David Newman

I just read again the following note mentioned in the documentation and realized that even if perl-XML-LibXSLT is installed using CPAN it also generates an httpd segmentation fault. So does this mean that we can go ahead and install perl-XML-LibXSLT using dnf and just apply the below fix to resolve the segmentation error?
Kindly confirm.
Compatibility issues with XML::LibXSLT
Installing XML::LibXSLT either through the perl-XML-LibXSLT or through CPAN causes httpd to generate a segmentation fault when you try to start it. The most straightfoarward solution to this is to run httpd in mpm-prefork rather than mpm-event mode. This can be acheived by editing /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf and commenting out the following line:
LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.soand uncommenting the mpm-prefork line:
LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.soThanksMaher

I believe in doing things properly, so I'll spin up a VM with Redhat 8.6 at some point today (or more likely this evening as it's looking like a busy day) and try and replicate what you're experiencing here.
You had no problem with the dnf perl bindings installation,
and only with the cpan installs,
from what I gather.
John's mentioning of version numbers reminds me - you can use cpan or cpanm to install specific versions of modules too.
If there's a known version that works well with your RedHat 8.6, you could ask cpan or cpanm to specifically install that version.
This is assuming I'm not confusing Perl Module versions with underlying lxslt versions.
I once had a problem running Alien::ImageMagick on an older version of CentOS, and found it was attempting to install a version of ImageMagick not compatible with my OS, so I just jumped into the part of the cpan module that specified what version of ImageMagick to install, changed it to a last known working version, and that solved the problem, giving me a uniquely patched version of the cpan module to install to solve my particular issue.
Of course in this case, the error we're facing is it not being found. Which means there's a risk it could be there and working and just not being located.
Obviously I'm only speculating and could be completely wrong.
I'll replace hypothetical guessing with experience and results from trial and error,
when I get the VM going later today.
Of course, the problem could be something unique to your setup Maher, that I may not be able to initially replicate with a VM, and might be able to replicate with further communication with you. For now, I'll give it a go later today, and see what I find, then I'll post back here and share any findings.
Feel free to experiment with other potential solutions in the meantime.
Or take a break if it's driving you potty ;-).
Yours,
Andrew.

Newer versions of cpanm apparently allow you to do this (I've never tried this before!):
Does that help at all?
I personally haven't tried running EPrints on RHEL8. Others might be able to answer that question.

Another thing you could try is using ‘cpanm’ – an alternative to CPAN.

I’m using the root user for running the below command and for trying to install the CPAN module, this is the output:
# which libxslt

Hi Martin
The packages libxslt-devel libxslt libxml2-devel libxml2 are only installed using dnf and are not installed again on the system using CPAN. As for the XML::LibXSLT it is recommended in the documentation to install it using CPAN and not as an rpm using dnf.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Maher

Hi,
if you have the rpms installed, you don’t need the CPAN package (you should remove it) – otherwise you may run into conflicts.
Kind regards,

Sorry the libxslt is a folder (not a file) and is located here:
/usr/include/libxslt
We also have the following libxslt files here:
/usr/lib64/libxslt.so.1.1.32
/usr/lib64/libxslt-plugins
/usr/lib64/libxslt.so.1
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libxslt.pc
/usr/lib64/libxslt.so
/usr/share/licenses/libxslt
The error appearing when trying to install using CPAN is this:
looking for -lxslt... no
libxslt not found

We installed from RPM dnf install perl-XML-LibXSLT which was successful and resolved any dependencies.
Then we did a dnf remove perl-XML-LibXSLT and then a cpanm (Yes we are using cpanm) XML::LibXSLT but received the same error and the installation failed.
Could the issue be from the location of the libxslt file?
# which libxslt
/usr/bin/which: no libxslt in (/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
The libxslt file is located here:
/usr/include/libxslt
Thanks

If you try installing from RPM:>dnf install perl-XML-LibXSLT
Does it work (and resolve dependencies)?
If so, you could then remove the RPM version:
>dnf remove perl-XML-LibXSLT --noautoremove
and then try installing the CPAN version again.
Another thing you could try is using ‘cpanm’ – an alternative to CPAN.
