This RPM is for libxml version "1" and you need libxml version "2" (or 
'libxml2' as the package name would be labeled).  You will also likely need 
the 'libxml2-devel' to get all the files required to build the LibXML perl 
module.

You can get the Fedora Core 5 provided libxml2 RPMs that you need from a 
Fedora mirror site here:
