Building lxml 2.0.5 on RHEL/CentOS 4

Has anyone built lxml 2.0.5 on RHEL 4 or CentOS 4?  When I submit it
to the Fedora/EPEL buildsystem I get the following error:

libxml/schematron.h: No such file or directory

I don't have direct access to a RHEL/CentOS 4 box so I can't do much
more debugging until I do get one set up.  libxml2 is at version
2.6.16 in RHEL/CentOS 4.  The full build log is here:

That's too old anyway. lxml > 1.3.x requires libxml2 2.6.21 (although I think
2.0.x still states it works with 2.6.20, which the above error proves wrong...)

Two choices: stay with lxml 1.3 or build your own libxml2 as well.

Doh, my sleep deprived-brain thought that I had built an earlier
version of lxml 2.0.x for RHEL 4, but I guess the last build was 1.3.6.
Thanks for the wake up call!
