[xml] built libxml and libxslt, possible bugs

[Tobias Reif <tobiasreif pinkjuice com>]

Hi Daniel et al,

I just finished compiling and installing (under my home dir, not
system-wide) the latest libxml and libxslt on SuSE 9.0 [uname]. I
don't know if I have a problem or not; if none of the below is an
issue then everything should be OK.

1. Should I somehow have compiled in libiconv and zlib?

2.
While configure and make ran (regression tests etc) I saw various
error messages, I'm not sure if they are of interest for you. I can
send you my installation log (commands issued plus some output) or any
of the files generated by configure, make, make tests, and make
install.

Should all tests pass? The end of libxml2-2.6.2/result/regexp/xpath
reads:

@a: Fail
