Maybe - these lines say that that you are using the libxml library in 
version 20627, but xsltproc was compiled against its version 20612. I'm 
no expert, but my experience with libxml/xsltproc is that these version 
numbers should match, as well as for libxslt and libexslt, but there is 
no problem in your case. (Yet I have to admit having discovered that I 
am currently using xsltproc compiled against libxml 20609 with libxml 
20608, but this minor discrepancy does not seem to hurt it.)

I recommend you upgrade your installation, look around at 
http://xmlsoft.org/ .

xsltproc worked quite well for me (put aside some nasty bugs like the 
one that affects processing of XHTML) - until I switched to XSLT 2.0 
which xsltproc can't process (yet).
