Pathan Download

These are old versions of the Pathan 1 libraries, conforming to the DOM3-XPath-20011031 specification. We recommend you use the latest versions of the Pathan libraries.

Pathan is available in multiple forms.

The precompiled shared library, available for Linux, Solaris and Windows is required for running programs which themselves link to Pathan. This is available in RPM, TGZ and ZIP formats, as appropriate.

The development RPM for Linux and Solaris contains libraries and headers suitable for building programs which link against Pathan.

The full source distribution includes all Pathan 1 code and is recommended if you wish to use the Pathan 1 library in development.

All precompiled libraries are linked against the shared library versions of Xerces-C 1.5.2. Xerces-C may be downloaded from its website.

We recommend you download one of the stable releases below. However, if you are looking for most up to date (possibly uncompilable) development sources, these are obtainable from the CVS tree.

Source distributions

These archives contain source distributions suitable for development work.

Due to the lack of a standard Xerces-C installation procedure, building Pathan requires setting the XERCESCROOT environment variable appropriately. Please refer to the build instructions for your platform.

Product Date Description
Pathan Source TGZ (UNIX) UNIX 17 December 2001 Full Pathan source distribution for UNIX. Includes Makefiles (tgz).
Pathan Source ZIP (Windows) Windows 32 17 December 2001 Full Pathan source distribution for Windows. Includes MS VC++ project files (zip).
Pathan Source RPM All 15 December 2001 Source RPM, used to rebuild library and development RPMs.

Note that the UNIX and Windows source archives are basically similar, the only difference being that some processed headers are included in the Windows archive; these headers are generated automatically by the UNIX build system.

All RPM files are signed with the DecisionSoft GPG key. After importing the DSL public key use rpm --checksig file.rpm to verify that you have downloaded an unmodified DecisionSoft RPM.
