The package dev-libs/libxml2 installs python bindings for python-2.2. Zope doesn't use that python version, instead it uses the old one, python-2.1, which doesn't have libxml2 python bindings in its site-packaes. Some zope products (like CMFOODocument) require to import libxml2 and thus cannot work. Binary bindings do not work (besides, what binaries? it's Gentoo!). The tarball from xmlsoft doesn't compile. How to install libxml2 (and libxslt) python bindings from the source code into site-packages of python2.1? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: "import libxml2" and "import libxslt" must work in Zope.
oops... Due to network problems (the browser warned me about loosing the connection), I've submitted three copies of exactly the same bug. Please, remove (or mark) dubplicates.
