I didn’t mean to convolute the issues, but I wasn’t sure if my work around for the initial fink setup was valid as I never got the “Successfully Installed” feedback that one normally gets when they did it right.  I did a complete reinstall of fink from source with some strategic non-default choices (different mirrors and no binaries) and I did receive the “Successful Installation” feedback I was expecting.

I don’t know if it’s relevant, but the first “Failed" message listed a different culprit (Failed: phase compiling: texi2html-perl5162-5.16.2-204 failed).  Fink asks for input in resolving a virtual dependency when installing openmpi  (automake1.15 or automake1.14).  The newer automake is the default choice, but neither effects the outcome (I tried both.  Both failed with the libxslt error).

I’m wondering if “LIBXML” here refers to an environment variable being set.  That seems kind of silly, given that xml2-config should return all of the information necessary about where to find libxml2, but I’ve seen a lot of silly build systems over the years.

This didn’t work, so apparently the issue goes back to what the build script is detecting.  My brain is too tired to wade through /opt/sw/src/fink.build/libxslt-1.1.34-2/libxslt-1.1.34/configure right now to see what’s going on, but that’s where I’m going to look next.

The libxslt and libxml2 packages have gone through a bunch of changes 
recently to fix this problem. If you selfupdate, you should see 
libxslt-1.1.34-3 as available. Does it work to build that one?
