</div>libxml2 is the way to go. however, some clusters may have been<br>
installed with older linux distributions, eg of the SL 3 series.<br>
ancient, but stable. in those cases libxml2 can still be installed,<br>
but only manually and its functionality is limited. one of the issues<br>
I recall is problems with namespace support.<br>
<br>
