The libxml2 patch fixes a bug in xml2-config generation. It fixes static build also for raptor, and possibly other libxml2 users (for which libxml2 is only an optional dependency, so we don't see hard failures). So I think that the libxml2 patch should be applied regardless of this one. baruch -- http://baruch.siach.name/blog/ ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - baruch at tkos.co.il - tel: +972.2.679.5364, http://www.tkos.co.il -
