At http://www.gnucash.org/en/required.phtml, there is a reference to Gnome 
XML with a link to  http://xmlsoft.org/
At http://xmlsoft.org/, there is this:
"Warning: unless you are forced to because your application links with a 
Gnome library requiring it, Do Not Use libxml1, use libxml2"

The most recent libxml at 
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/ftp/mirror/gnome.org/stable/sources/libxml 
appears to be from July of 2000. There are around 30 releases of libxml2 
since then, and no libxml releases. My guess is libxml2 is required for a 
current gnucash build. Of course, that's just a guess and I haven't gotten 
around to installing the bugger. Maybe tomorrow...

Thanks for your help, Phillip.
