I am on Ubuntu 6.10 as well, installed libxml as you proposed:
"gem install -r libxml-ruby"
~$ gem list --local | grep xml
libxml-ruby (0.3.8.4)
So version is 0.3.8.4
Your code runs without problems here.
xmlroot.child.each is available here, too
I don't think you need the
require 'xml/libxml_so'
because this line is included in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.3.8.4/lib/xml/libxml.rb
If your ruby does not find libxml_so, you could check if it is available in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/libxml-ruby-0.3.8.4/lib/xml/libxml_so.so
But I have several further lixm packages installed:
~$ dpkg -l | grep libxml
ii libxml++2.6c2a 2.14.0-0ubuntu1

Do you have libxml2 installed?
Found any solution already?

Did you figure this out? I don't think you should need the _so
require. BUt I'm not sure what the issue it.
