You sent this to the libsigc++ list instead of the libxml++ list. I do
that sometimes too.

The library is called libxml++-2.6. The latest version of libxml++-2.6
is 2.10. 

A patch to the .spec file would be welcome. I doubt many people use it.
As usual, I'd recommend removing it if it remains broken, in favour of
people using their distro packages anyway.
