Hi unfortunately, installing of LibXML failed for me. My system:

uname -a Linux linuxboxhome 5.9.11-arch2-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 28 Nov 2020 02:07:22 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Libxml2 was installed with pacman -S libxml2

zef command and output:

I hope that helps

Oops didn't regress last release properly. Seeing that error when run against Rakudo 2019.11

[dwarring]

@wbiker, I only tested last release against Rakudo 2012.12 and broke tests on Rakudo versions.

Please retry with LibXML 0.5.14, uploaded to CPAN which should pass on Rakudo 2019.11 onwards.

Ups, forget to mention my Raku version 2020.09. Anyways, with your updated version 0.5.14 tests and installation have worked!

Thank you!
