This isn't a real problem, it's caused by libxml2's version number
check. It's safe to ignore this warning as you haven't really spotted
a problem in the compiled program. Here are the relevant code in
parserInternals.c from libxml2:
> void
> xmlCheckVersion(int version) {
> int myversion = (int) LIBXML_VERSION;
>
> xmlInitParser();
>
> if ((myversion / 10000) != (version / 10000)) {
> xmlGenericError(xmlGenericErrorContext,
> "Fatal: program compiled against libxml %d using libxml %d\n",
> (version / 10000), (myversion / 10000));
> fprintf(stderr,
> "Fatal: program compiled against libxml %d using libxml %d\n",
> (version / 10000), (myversion / 10000));
> }
> if ((myversion / 100) < (version / 100)) {
> xmlGenericError(xmlGenericErrorContext,
> "Warning: program compiled against libxml %d using older
> %d\n",
> (version / 100), (myversion / 100));
> }
> }
In this case, 'version' is 20800 and 'myversion' is 20700. So
((myversion / 10000) != (version / 10000)) is false, and ((myversion /
100) < (version / 100)) is true. This only means the major versions
are the same, while the minor versions aren't. It does not do precise
symbol version check here, and you are safe to use an older version of
the library in case you only need the functions provided by the old
version, and whether you have compiled using a newer one does not
really matter.
I'm closing this bug as it's not an issue.
