[Gmod-help] Error when installing Bundle::GMOD on CentOS 5.2

[Dave Clements]

Hello Maxim,

Try one of the libxslt RPMs at ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxslt/

Unfortunately, I don't know what tools will fail to work without this
libxslt support.

And yes, we still have problems running with PostgreSQL 8.3.  It is
better to go with 8.2 or earlier.

Thanks,

Dave C

I wanted to ask what tools will fail to work properly without XML::LibXSLT? If it is critical to a Chado installation, do you know of any workarounds for the problem (other than building libxslt and related libraries by hand)?
