I had a 32/64-bit version that worked well for Doitsu when he had the problem. It may get you through until your distro gets enough complaints and patches the libxml2 in their repos. I'll see if I can track it down.
Thanks Diap. I can live with 0.8.4 the way it is. With theducks work-around for splitting the chapters and if the only problem is the multiplication of nbsps it's no biggie. It's the kind of thing that if the version you got for Doitsu is pretty easy to install and eliminates the chapter splitting and multiplication of nbsps that would be great because I have a novel and a short story I'm going to be doing soon, but it's also the kind of thing that I'm afraid of messing things up too. (Not by what you give me but by what I do with it!)

What's weird is the older Xubuntu distros had no issues with Sigil. (I didn't even know about libxml2 stuff. Never heard of it.)
