Either remove that requirement or change it to PyXML.  python-xml is a
RPM provided by the SuSE distro.  This is fixed in trunk.

Not sure about that, but I have good luck building the code in trunk
without any problems on RHEL4 - please let me know if you need special
instructions on how to do that.
