RE: [xml] problem building libxml2 rpm: missing macros.python file

["Sood, Sanjeev" <sanjeev sood intel com>]

Daniel,

Thanks again for your time. I understand the problem little better.

If this is a possible issue with my installation, what could I be doing
wrong? I have 4 systems here with 4 different RedHat versions (from 7.1,
8.0. 9.0), but none of them seem to have this file. Do I need to run any
other rpm command to generate this file? I am fairly new to using Linux
and it could easily be a user error on my part. I will appreciate any
tips you can give me on this. Do you see this file on your systems where
possibly you have installed libxml or any other rpms? If so, can I get a
copy of this file?

Thanks again, and Best regards,
-Sanjeev

  The file you are missing will *not* come from a problem with 
the python or python-rpm package. It is *rpm* which is asking for
this, you will have to check your installation, this is in no way
related to libxml2 as far as I can tell (and I worked with those
tools for years).
