netconf-console: Problem with xmllint executable

[khgrant]

Hello NSO team,

I could not run netconf-console, and I get following:

$ netconf-console -u admin -p admin --host 172.16.13.30 --get -x '/nacm/groups'

Problem with xmllint executable. Is it in PATH?

Any ideas how to make netconf-console run?

I looked for xmllint and tried to add to the PATH, but no success.

$ sudo find / -name xmllint*

/usr/share/vim/vim74/compiler/xmllint.vim

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/xmllint

$ echo $PATH

/opt/ncs/current/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/bash-completion/completions

$ echo $PATH

/opt/ncs/current/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/share/bash-completion/completions

$ netconf-console -u admin -p admin --host 172.16.13.30 --get -x '/nacm/groups'

Problem with xmllint executable. Is it in PATH?

Note: This is a ubuntu linux 64-bit with NSO 4.1 --system-install.

Thanks to Vinoth's suggestion that it works now after:

sudo apt-get install libxml2-utils

Fatih,

Right, to get full functionality, you need xmllint installed.

If you don't have it and can't or don't want to install, you can turn off the need using the   netconf-console -s raw   switch. This menas the output won't be nicely formatted, but at least it gives you the output.
