I found a new package which somehow didn't automatically install when upgrading.
https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackware-x86_64/libxml2-2.9.4-x86_64-2.txz....
I use /tmp in root file space to install such programs.
su - give root password
# cd /tmp
Using wget to get the new files.
wget https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-14.2/slackware64/l/libxml2-2.9.4-...
Then I upgrade the existing package.
upgradepkg --install-new libxml2-2.9.4-x86_64-2.txz
Then I install chirp.
spi --install chirp
Installing new package ./chirp-20201128-x86_64-1_SBo.txz
Then I run chirpw and chirp works. It does nag me about a newer version being available, but I ignored that message and I'll wait for it to appear in the Slackware repository.
Problem solved!

Hello Discussion,
Running SLINT, Slackware International, based on Slackware 14.2.
I cannot install chirp because there is no libxml2mod.
ImportError: No module named libxml2mod fakeroot -- sh chirp.SlackBuild Failed
Full errors:
No handlers could be found for logger "chirp.drivers.anytone778uv" Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 6, in <module> from chirp.drivers import * File "/usr/src/slapt-src/ham/chirp/chirp-daily-20201128/chirp/drivers/generic_xml.py", line 17, in <module> import libxml2 File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libxml2.py", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named libxml2mod fakeroot -- sh chirp.SlackBuild Failed
I don't know who works on the slackware build of chirp.
Thanks, David N1EA
