HOWTO

# libxslt
# =======
# Slackware 8.1's 'libxslt' package includes version 1.0.18, 9.0's includes
# 1.0.27, 9.1's includes 1.0.33, 10.0's includes 1.1.6, 10.1's includes
# 1.1.12, 10.2's includes 1.1.15, and 11.0's includes 1.1.17

# There are two libxslt versions in this howto.  1.1.x, which is the latest,
# and 1.0.x which is the latest of the previous series - for those that
# need the older version for some reason.

# If you want python bindings, make sure libxml2 was built with
# --with-python

# If you're replacing a source installed libxslt that was installed under
# /usr/local, cd into it's source and run 'make uninstall' before proceeding
# here.  If you can't for some reason, run this to at least clear out the
# old shared library files and includes:

test -d /usr/local/include/libexslt && rm -r /usr/local/include/libexslt
