Bugreport for py-libxml2 and Python 2.5

[Bjoern Voigt]

Hello!

I recently upgraded my FreeBSD 6.2 system

    (FreeBSD chemnitz 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #3: Mon Feb 12
    22:58:47 CET 2007  root at mybox:/usr/obj/src/sys/GENERIC.bv  i386)

from Python 2.4 to Python 2.5.

Unfortunately the port textproc/py-libxml2 does not build correctly with 
python25-2.5_1.

There is an error in the Makefile (textproc/py-libxml2/Makefile):

Instead of

    CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-iconv=${LOCALBASE} \
                    --with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc \
                    --with-html-subdir=${PORTNAME} \
                    --with-python=${LOCALBASE}


there should be something like

    CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-iconv=${LOCALBASE} \
                    --with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc \
                    --with-html-subdir=${PORTNAME} \
                    --with-python=${LOCALBASE}/bin/python${PYTHON_VERSION}


Unfortunately with this change a linker error comes up. "-lxml2" (from 
libxml2-2.6.27/python/Makefile) does not find libxml2.so in 
/usr/local/lib. Inserting a "-L/usr/local/lib" in 
libxml2-2.6.27/python/Makefile is a hack to repair this.

The problem is hard to find, because the port seams to build properly. 
But if you take a deeper look, you see that " pkg_info -L 
py25-libxml2-2.6.27|xargs -n 1 ls -1" shown non-existing files. I found 
this problem because xml2po from gnome-doc-utils-0.7.2_1 failed to 
"import libxml2".
