I've got libxml.so.0, libxml.so.1, libxml-so.1.8.7, libxmlparse.so.1, 
libxmlparse.so.1.1, libxmltok.so.1, libxmltok.so.1.1.

I suspect that the problem is that while I have the Debian libxml1 
package installed, I don't have the Debian libxml-dev package 
installed.  I'm going to install that now, and see if that fixes the 
problem.

But while a lot of other gnome libraries are checked at ./configure 
time, libxml is not.  Perhaps that's a bug?
