Problems installing on Slackware-10.0

[Derek Atkins]

PLEASE re-read the Slackware HowTo..  You're missing a quite
fundamental issue: Gnucash is a Gnome-1.4 application.

To answer your specific question below, you need libxml.  Having
libxml2 is not sufficient as it's a gnome2 library, not a gnome1.4
library.
