<p>When trying to use <code>libxml2</code> as myself I get an error saying the package cannot be found. If I run as as super user I am able to import fine.</p>

<p>I have installed <code>python25</code> and all <code>libxml2</code> and <code>libxml2-py25</code> related libraries via fink and own the entire path including the library. Any ideas why I'd still need to sudo?</p>
