If you're just using XSLT from the command line (rather than say from a C or
PHP application) then switching to Saxon should be no problem. There's a
getting started guide here:
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/#!about/gettingstarted/gettingstartedjava
For use from C/C++/PHP we have a product Saxon/C in beta release at the moment,
we're hoping to advance that to a full release very soon.

We currently have the following installed.

XPATH not sure but we are running on libxml2-2.9.1-1
How would I go about getting a version of XSL 2.0 to install for unix. Only
using the xsltproc command to convert my XSL files using an XML stylesheet.
Systems department said he cannot install 2.0 unless I give him some third
party tool to install. If I am just using this on Unix to do my conversion
do I need to have Saxon installed or is there something else for Unix.
Bridger on the listserv stated: I don't know if you're able to request
additional packages or ports on your Unix system, but Dr. Kay has open
sourced two different XSLT 2.0 processors [1]. They require Java, but they
might simplify your processing. How would we get these open source XSLT 2.0
processors ie. Saxon.
Quickly reviewed the chapter on Saxon and it indicates that Saxon requires
Java. What if I am just using the following command to execute my XSLT file
conversion. Writing just Unix script to do my processing to pull the file
from another server, archive it, do the conversion, take the converted file
and upload it to a database table.
xsltproc -o $inputfile $LibrStylesheet $outputfile
I went Amazon and purchased the following used books so I stop asking the
list so many questions. They just came in so I brought them into office
today to help me.
XSLT 2nd Edition Programmer's Reference by Michael Kay
XPath 2.0 Prograqmmer's Reference by Michael Kay
XSLT 2.0 3rd edition Programmer's Reference by Michael Kay
Ordered on more book not by Michael Kay that was recommended for people just
new to XSLT programming. In 10 minutes read thru the first 35 pages of 2nd
Edition book.
