I don't remember seeing my reply to this question on the list, so I'll
send it again.

I installed version 0.95.1 a couple of days before my last message.  No
earlier versions.

I note that libxslt is in /usr/lib, whereas libxslt_filter is in
/usr/local/lib, in line with the fact that dia places itself in
/usr/local.  Is it a conflict between my version of libxslt and the
filter?

Can you help me with a solution please?
