I'm working my way through the Gnome install in the BLFS development book and I ran into a problem with gnome-panel. During the build I got this error: ImportError: No module named libxml2 make[3]: *** [de/clock.xml] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: *** [es/clock.xml] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.12.2/work/gnome-panel-2.12.2/help/clock' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.12.2/work/gnome-panel-2.12.2/help' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnome-panel-2.12.2/work/gnome-panel-2.12.2' make: *** [all] Error 2
This confused me because I had installed the libxml2 package before anything else. I did some checking in google and found others had encountered the same error. Apparently the module libxml2 that is mentioned is the Python libxml2 module, not the libxml2 package. Since I had installed Python after the libxml2 package, I reinstalled the libxml2 package then tried the gnome-panel build again. This time everything worked perfectly. Maybe the book needs to mention something about this?
