Scott,

LibXslt is calling the version of libxml it was compiled against, which is not
always the one installed on your system. When working with libraries you need
to be careful with updates as they may break things like they did on your
case.

To test try running

xsltproc --version

Which should tell you the versions the different libraries were compiled
against

My guess is that you'll have to upgrade libxslt so that it matches your
installed version of libxml

I'm not sure why, because it appears that 2.9.1 has been out for a while.  I
also cannot tell for sure whether this is a problem with lxml, libxslt, or
libxml2.  I posted to the lxml list, and they didn't have any solutions, so I
am now trying xslt.
