  hum, actually both reports came from people who had recompiled 
the library themselves. I start suspecting some divergences in the
libtool processing. My version of libtool does the shared lib lookup

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -Wall -g  -o libxsltmod.so -o libxsltmod.so libxslt.lo types.lo libxslt-py.lo ../libxslt/libxslt.la ../libexslt/libexslt.la  -shared -Wl,-soname,libxsltmod.so

launch 

gcc -Wall -g -o libxsltmod.so -o libxsltmod.so libxslt.o types.o libxslt-py.o -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,libxsltmod.so  ../libxslt/.libs/libxslt.a -lm ../libexslt/.libs/libexslt.a -L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libxslt.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so -lm -lm -lm -lz -lm

But some other version might not do it, or may not activate it due
to prefix differences.
I will try to explictely add the references to libxml2, libz and libm,
but still they should use the same shared library instance, so the LD_GLOBAL
flag should be activated (when possible).
