Yes, so I expect Dr Genius to do spreadsheets, and change its name to
Dr Genieric.
Anyhow, there are libxml2 and libxml2-devel rpms at the gnome ftp
site, under /pub/GNOME/contrib/redhat/i386/Base
I downloaded those rpms, and I still had the problem with libxml.
Then I installed the rpms, and that seemed to help things a lot.
However, the libxml-devel had the *.h files in /usr/include/gnome-xml,
while the libxml2-devel has the *.h files in /usr/include/libxml.
So some of the sources (at least canvas.cc) have lines 
#include <gnome-xml/*.h>
that have to be changed (for me, at least) to
#include <libxml/*.h>
I have to give a final now, I'll try compiling it again afterwards.
