Hi:  
i am trying confd/examples.confd/ha/dummy example,  
version is confd-basic-6.4.linux.x86\_64.  
i run “make test”,an error appeared as follows:could you tell me anything wrong?

root@chaoas-VirtualBox:/home/chaoas/confd/examples.confd/ha/dummy# make test

### Start with fresh confd.conf and databases

make clean stop all \>/dev/null 2\>&1

### Start the confd daemon with our example specific confd-conf

make start  
make[1]: Entering directory ‘/home/chaoas/confd/examples.confd/ha/dummy’

### Stop the confd daemons

Stopping node0  
connection refused (stop)  
Stopping node1  
connection refused (stop)  
Stopping node2  
connection refused (stop)

### Start 3 confd daemons with our example specific confd-conf

Starting node0  
Starting node1  
Starting node2  
make[1]: Leaving directory ‘/home/chaoas/confd/examples.confd/ha/dummy’

### Instruct the first node to be master, the rest slaves

./ctrl master node0  
i=1; while [$i -lt 3]; do   
env CONFD\_IPC\_PORT=$((4565+10\*$i))   
./ctrl slave node$i node0 127.0.0.1 ;   
i=$(($i + 1)) ;   
done

### Now add a to the master

/home/chaoas/confd//bin/netconf-console-tcp cmd-set-server.xml  
Problem with xmllint executable. Is it in PATH?  
Makefile:72: recipe for target ‘test’ failed

Before you start example, can you try `xmllint --version` if `xmllint` is present. If not, it needs to be installed (e.g. `apt-get install libxml2-utils` for Ubuntu, Debian)
