[gtk-osx-devel] configure: error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package

[Jim Charlton <charltn gmail com>]

I am building gtk-osx on MAC Yosemite 10.10

1. gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

2. export PATH=$PATH:/Users/chartech/.local/bin

3. Added lines

checkoutroot = 
os.path.expanduser("/Applications/Drumroaster/gtk/Source/gtk")
prefix = os.path.expanduser("/Applications/Drumroaster/gtk/inst")
os.environ["ARCHFLAGS"] = "-arch x86_64"

to .jhbuildrc-custom as I want the installation in a non-standard location.

4. jhbuild bootstrap
5. alias jhbuild="PATH=/Applications/Drumroaster/gtk/inst/bin:$PATH jhbuild"
6. jhbuild build python
7. jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap

In step 7 I get a configure error while building itstool. "configure: 
error: Python module libxml2 is needed to run this package"

I have run this sequence before on MAVERICKS (10.9.5) with no problem.  
Must be something about the way the python libs are being installed or 
used but I cannot figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.
