>Description:

If mod_security is built without libxml2 support, then the bundled ruleset won't load with the following error:

Error creating rule: Unknown variable: XML

>How-To-Repeat:

Install www/mod_security2 without specifying the make flag -DWITH_LIBXML2. The above error will be seen when activating it in Apache.

>Fix:

Remove this knob from the Makefile:

 .if defined(WITH_LIBXML2)
 AP_EXTRAS+= -DWITH_LIBXML2
 AP_INC= ${LOCALBASE}/include/libxml2
 AP_LIB= ${LOCALBASE}/lib
 USE_GNOME= libxml2
 .endif

and always build with libxml2 as a dependency.
