As a matter of fact when I look through my notes it was libxml2.
It involved libxslt and libxslt-devel and some python stuff. I can't
remember which one, but something complained about dependencies and
it became this vicious little circle so I said forget it and used
openjade.
Some of the packages were installed in my Mandrake 8.1 distro, but
not all of 'em. I had done a full package install (except for
games)... unfortunately I'm not brave enough to switch to 8.2
or another distro because I finally got these tools working, and I
didn't want to wreck it!
