First subscribe to the mailing list or check teh email you're subscribed from I can't just approve your mail manually. Second please enter a bugzilla explaining how you got this, this works for me on a basic test: paphio:~/XML -> xmllint --html --shell tst.html / > xpath //body Object is a Node Set : Set contains 1 nodes: 1 ELEMENT body / > In general I can't chase a problem I can't reproduce, and if XPath was really that broken I think the libxslt regression tests would have raised that immediately. There is something you are doing (or not doing) which causes it and I have no cristall ball (as usual !)
