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

[Scott Cain]

Hi Maxim,

LibXSLT is only used by Bio::Chaos libraries, which is not widely used
and is not used by any of the main Chado related tools, so I don't
think you'll miss it.  Chaos-xml is an XML format for describing
sequences and sequence features.

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)?
