Try to look for references to libxslt in there, see what it says. Yes there is a config.log. About libxslt it says: configure:19741: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libxslt >= 1.0.15" Package libxslt was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libxslt.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libxslt' found I guess I could try to find out how to manipulate the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable, but other libraries are obviously found, so somehow this shouldn't be necessary I guess. Or there's yet another problem.
