Thanks John for your quick answer,

My thinking was erroneous, sorry, the error is not that python doesn't find libxml2 like:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libxml2'

Whatever the PYTHON value is, as PYTHONPATH is set with ${prefix}/lib/python3.10/site-packages then libxml2 
is successfully found but provoques a Segmentation fault.

It was ok last time with python 3.9:
bld% ./xnadalib-2021/bin/python            
Python 3.9.2 (default, Jan  9 2022, 11:56:26) 
[Clang 13.0.0 (clang-1300.0.29.3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
> > > import libxml2

But not with python 3.10:
bld% ./xnadalib-2022/bin/python3
Python 3.10.2 (main, Aug 15 2022, 12:49:45) [Clang 13.1.6 (clang-1316.0.21.2.5)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
> > > import libxml2
zsh: segmentation fault  ./xnadalib-2022/bin/python3

Both built libxml2 have same version.

I don't find any relevant help on Google.
libxml2 is a too long story :-( sorry to bother you with that.

What is your feedback?

Thanks, Pascal.
