Thank you very much for your quick reply. I also have the following
questions:
1. I used to use rpm to install the libxml package. If I do not want to
install FTP, HTTP, etc, can I use rpm? Do
    I have to compile your source code myself? If I have to compile the
code, could you give me some instruction about
    how to compile it?
2. Do you know how big the library will be after removing the parts that
you mentioned in your email?

Thanks

Jing

  SAX is really core to libxml, you can't remove it.
  ./configure --help shows the parts which can be removed at compile time:
  --with-buffers Use buffers for node content (off)
  --with-ftp Add the FTP support (on)
  --with-http Add the HTTP support (on)
  --with-html Add the HTML support (on)
  --with-xpath Add the XPATH support (on)
  --with-iconv Add the ICONV support (on)
  --with-debug Add the debugging module (on)
  --with-mem-debug Add the memory debugging module (off)

  So basically you can get rid of:
  - FTP HTTP HTML XPATH and the debugging module
  I suggest you keep iconv support if found on your machine, espacially
with respect to recent abuse in (non) XML encoding support in WAP related
software and pages.
