[x64] libxml2 support not compiled in to wine, but libxml2 available in ia32-libs

[Daniel Pittman]

Binary package hint: wine

G'day. When running a Windows application (Fantasy Grounds Demo) under Wine I see the following error:

This program tried to use an XMLDocument object, but
libxml2 support was not present at compile time.
CoCreateInstance Failed, last error 0

The application then segfaults, presumably because the developer never bothered with error checking on that COM object creation call.

In any case the libxml2 library is present in ia32-libs:

rc:0 ] dpkg -L ia32-libs |grep libxml
/usr/lib32/libxml2.so.2.6.30
/usr/lib32/libxml2.so.2

I do note this bit of additional text on the Wine wiki regarding building Wine on 64 bit Ubuntu 7.10:

http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit#head-eb4de1da767e6e648d77c004566a71d0307cb737

I suspect the same issue is at play with bug 144419 since the symptoms are more or less identical -- just a different 32-bit libarry that wasn't found at build time.
