Fix Missing Libxslt When Installing Nginx

1. Problem description

./configure: error: the HTTP XSLT module requires the libxml2/libxslt libraries.
You can either do not enable the module or install the libraries.

It was the first time I encountered Nginx compilation and installation failure, and then I found that the Ubuntu image of Tencent Cloud lacked libxslt.

2. Solution

There are ways to install via a package manager and to compile and install from source.

2.1.CentOS

implement:

1

yum install libxml2 libxslt

2.2.Ubuntu

implement:

1

3

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2
sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev

2.3.compile and install

If you can't install using the package, you can try to compile and install.

wget ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxslt/libxslt-1.1.21.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libxslt-1.1.21.tar.gz
cd libxslt-1.1.21
sudo autoreconf --install
./configure
make
sudo make install

After the installation is successful, recompile Nginx.
